Kediri Kingdom


Kediri kingdom born of the division of Mataram Kingdom by King Airlangga (1000-1049). Solving this is done to avoid disputes among the children concubines. There is no clear evidence of how the empire was broken up and into pieces. The Chronicle noted that the kingdom was divided four or five parts. But in its development, only two kingdoms are often referred to, namely Kediri (Pangjalu) and Jenggala. Samarawijaya as legitimate heir to the kingdom got the old capital, namely Dahanaputra, and the name was changed to Pangjalu kingdom also known as the kingdom of Kediri.
