Jayanegara

Jayanegara or Jayanagara (formal regnal name Sri Maharaja Wiralandagopala Sri Sundarapandya Dewa Adhiswara or Sri Sundarapandyadevadhisvara Vikramottungadeva, also known as Kala Gemet) was a Javanese emperor and the second monarch of the Majapahit Empire from 1309 to his death in 1328, and also Prince of Kediri from 1295. Jayanegara was the heir, crown prince, and only son of Raden Wijaya, the founder of Majapahit. The story of his life was written in several records, including the Pararaton and Negarakertagama. His reign saw the beginning of Gajah Mada's rise to influence in the empire.

==Early life== Dyah Wijaya took all of Kertanegara's four daughters' hands in marriage. The sisters were Parameswari Tribhuwana also known as Trubhuwaneswari (the eldest), Prajnaparamita, Narendraduhita, and Rajapatni Gayatri (the youngest). The reason for Dyah Wijaya's practice of sibling polygamy was to ensure his claim of legitimacy and to prevent the contest for Kertanegara's Singhasari legacy. Dyah Wijaya also married Indreswari (also known as Dara Petak), the princess of the Malayu Dharmasraya Kingdom, who was brought to the Majapahit court from Sumatra through Kertanegara's Pamalayu expedition. Dyah Wijaya or Prince Nararya Sangramawijaya ascended to the Majapahit throne and took the regnal name of King Kertarajasa Jayawardhana in circa 1293/1294.
