Pak Ganjawulung,
Other than keris, history is another subject of my interest, and on Nusantara context, they are often corelated.
Pangeran Adityawarman then ruled Palembang after handing over Pagaruyung to his mother, Dara Jingga (matriach system?) then became the ruler (governor?) of Palembang who paid tribute to Majapahit. His grandson, Parameswara , eventually opened Melaka after falling out of favor with Majapahit kingdom.
That is why most Palembang & southern Malay Peninsula kerises are very much influenced by the Javanese.
