Hayam Wuruk crowned king of Majapahit
1358
The sixteen-year-old prince ascended the throne of Java's premier kingdom under the steely hand of his prime minister Gajah Mada. Together they would push Majapahit's claims of suzerainty across the Indonesian archipelago, from Aceh to New Guinea, in what the court poet Prapanca grandly described as a maritime empire binding the seas under Javanese authority.
