Vijaya (English spelling)
?‐1309
Founder of the Majapahit Empire in Indonesia. Reigned 1293-1309. After ascending to the throne, he was named Kertarajasa Jayavardana. He was a relative and son-in-law of the last king of the Singasari Empire, Kertanagara, but in 1292 the usurper Jayakatwan killed King Kertanagara and seized the kingdom. Vijaya first fled to Madura, but eventually returned to Java, apparently in submission, and was given land on the lower Brantas River, where he secretly waited for an opportunity to regain his power.
