1334 -

Javanese Hindu state of
Majapahit at the time of its greatest power. He was preceded by
Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi and succeded by

He inherited the throne in 1350 at the age of 16, when the great patih (
prime minister)
Gajah Mada was at the height of his career. Under his rule, Majapahit extended its power throughout the
Indonesian archipelago.
