Srivijaya's Malayu Conquest and the Dharmasraya Kingdom

In the late 13th century, Srivijaya faced a new threat from the Javanese kingdom of Singhasari. But instead of collapsing, the Malayu kingdom of Jambi rose to prominence under King Tribhuwanaraja. This episode explores the Pamalayu expedition of 1275, the diplomatic marriage between the Javanese prince and a Malayu princess, and the emergence of the Dharmasraya kingdom. We examine how Srivijaya's decline allowed Malayu to inherit its trade networks and Buddhist traditions, and how the region's mandala politics reshaped the balance of power in the Strait of Malacca. Featuring insights from Chinese records like the Yuan shi, local inscriptions, and the shift of power from Palembang to Jambi. #Srivijaya #Malayu #Dharmasraya #Pamalayu #Singhasari #Kertanegara #Tribhuwanaraja #Jambi #Palembang #StraitOfMalacca #MaritimeSilkRoad #YuanDynasty #MongolInvasions #MandalaPolity #BuddhistTrade #SoutheastAsianHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
