Wikramawardhana

Vikramavardhana (), often known by his regnal name Bhra Hyang Wisesa was a Javanese emperor and succeeded Hayam Wuruk as the fifth monarch of the Majapahit, reigning from 1389 to 1429.

== Early life == His ksatria name was Raden Gagak Sali as stated in Pararaton. He was the nephew and also the son-in-law of the previous monarch, King Rajasanagara Dyah Hayam Wuruk. His mother was the king's younger sister, Rajasaduhiteswari or Wardhanaduhiteswari or Iswari in short. Krom interpreted it as "the illustrious Wardhana's daughter, Iswari". The term "Wardhana" referred to Prince consort Kertawardhana, husband of Queen Tribhuwana. She was given the title Bhre Pajang and married to Singhawardhana, Bhre Paguhan. According to Pararaton, Vikramavardhana had two younger sisters. The older one was Nagarawardhani, she would be the wife of Vikramavardhana's rival in the future. She was originally the Bhre Wirabhumi before the title shifted to her husband and she became Bhre Lasem. The younger was Surawardhani or Rajasawardhani. At first, she was either the Bhre Panawuhan or Bhre Panawan-awan then after a few rotations, her title was Bhre Kahuripan. Vikramavardhana himself was the Bhre Mataram. In contrast, Nagarakretagama only stated Rajasawardhani as a daughter of Iswari. Perhaps, Nagarawardhani was adopted by The Princess of Daha since her marriage was mentioned as childless in Pararaton.
