Hindhu Mataram to Islamic Mataram

(You may omit this post, if it wastes your precious time)

The finding of Sukabumi Inscription – which mentioned the time frame of Early Java on March 804 -- was very valuable for the validity of the historiography of Java in that era. Prasasti Mantyasih (Mantyasih Inscription) which had found in Kedu, Magelang Central Java and dated from 907, mentioned the names of kings of Ancient Mataram. From Rakai (king) Mataram Sang Ratu Sanjaya to Sri Maharaja Empu Sindok. (Hindhu Mataram then moved from Central Java to East Java in 929 AD, supposed ‘cause of the Mount Merapi eruption that destroyed part of Hindhu Mataram sites in Central Java).

One of the admirable notes, in this Early Jawa period – according to Zoetmulder (1985:179) – education on humaniora got a respected place in the kingdom. Litterature, according to Zoetmulder, not only monopolized by the elite in the kingdom. Education on poems, was obligatory for public, mainly the palace employees and prominent figure in the society. (Zoetmulder, 1985:179).

Padepokan and perguron (kind of educational camps and institutions) bloomed. Litterature got a respected place in the heart of the society. And the oldest work of Litterature was Serat Candakarana which was written in the reign of Syailendra Dynasty around 700 Saka, and the construction of Kalasan temple (Eastern of Jogjakarta now).

Two rivalry dynasty reigned Hindhu Mataram, during 8th century to 9th century. The Syailendra Dynasty – King Bhanu (752-775), Wisnu (775-782), Indra (782-812), Smarattungga (812-833) who built Borobudur, Pramodawardhani (833-856) which had been married to Rakai Pikatan of rivalry dynasty of Sanjaya.

Kings of Sanjaya Dynasty – Sanjaya (732-7xx), Rakai Panangkaran (not known the year), Rakai Patapan (838-855) this king then kicked the Syailendra Dynasty from power by marrying Pramodawardhani. Rakai Kayuwangi (855-885), Dyah Tagwas (885), Rakay Panumwangan Dyah Dewendra (885-887), Rakai Gurunwangi Dyah Badra (887), Rakai Watuhumalang (894-898), Rakai Watukura Dyah Balitung (898-910), Daksa (910-919), Tulodong (919-921), Dyah Wawa (924-928), Mpu Sindhok 928-929) moved to East Java.

Medang Kingdom (East Java)
Mpu Sindhok (929-947), Sri Isyanatunggawijaya (947-9xx), Makutawangsawardhana (9xx-1006).

Kahuripan Kingdom (East Java)
Airlangga (1019-1045) he built the kingdom from the ruins, because of the Sriwijaya attack
Airlangga then divided the kingdom into two kingdom of Janggala and Kediri. Some people in Java called this period as the period of Pajajaran (or, two parallel kingdoms). The period of Kediri kingdom is from 1116-1222. Then Singhasari kingdom of Ken Arok (1222-1227). The last king of Singhasari was Kertanegara (1254-1292).

Then, Majapahit 1293-1519 (East Java), Demak 1478-1561 (Central Java), Pajang, then Islamic Mataram (1575-1727 moved to Kartasura then, the division of Mataram kingdom to Solo and Jogjakarta…
