Overview of Majapahit
Majapahit kingdom was founded in 1293 and existed until 1500. The name came from the fruit young Mojo Majapahit (Latin: Aegle Marmelos) which tastes bitter when it’s eaten by one of the soldiers, Raden Wijaya, – the founder.
After some periods of kings from Raden Wijaya’s offspring, the Majapahit Empire started to become famous when Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi became queen and pointed Gajah Mada as Mahapatih / Prime Minister. Gajah Mada became famous after he promised to unite the archipelago as a country, known as Palapa Vow (Sumpah Palapa).
