Islamic Java

The sultanates that took Java from its Hindu-Buddhist courts - Demak's own conquest of Majapahit's port cities, the brief inland interlude at Pajang, and the last independent Javanese kingdom, Mataram, which besieged Batavia twice and never took it.

The line below is a time axis. Position on it is date, so concurrency is visible: concurrent polities sit side by side rather than in sequence.

2 sourced edges run between this region and another, to Majapahit and The Sunda Kingdom. Those are not drawn on this line — a thread that crossed regions would assert a sequence nobody cited — but they are on each polity’s own page.
