Mpu Sindok

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mpu Sindok was the last king of the Sanjaya Dynasty who ruled the Kingdom of Mataram from around 928 or 929AD. Mpu Sindok moved the seat of power of the Mataram kingdom from Central Java to Eastern Java in 929AD, probably as a result of the eruption of Mount Merapi. The new capital of the kingdom was Watugaluh, on the banks of the Brantas River, near the present day Jombang Regency (East Java). The name of the new kingdom was changed from Mataram to Medang, although it was still frequently referred to as "Mataram" in various pieces of literature. Mpu Sindok was also the founder of the Isyana Dynasty, and thus the new kingdom is also sometimes referred to as "Isyana". An inscription currently in the museum of Kolkata, India, describes Mpu Sindok's descendants down to Airlangga, in the eleventh century AD.

Mpu Sindok had two wives, one of whom, Sri Parameswari Dyah Kbi, was probably the daughter of Dyah Wawa, the last king of Mataram in Central Java. Thus, Mpu Sindok succeeded to the throne of Mataram because of his marriage.

Mpu Sindok died in 947 AD and was succeeded by his son, Sri Isyana Tunggawijaya.
