Bali

Bali was a Hindu-Buddhist kingdom on the volcanic island of the same name. In 1337 its native rulers held court at Bedulu, having regained independence after Singhasari fell in 1292.

Majapahit's Gajah Mada landed in 1342 and took Bedulu after a seven-month campaign in 1343; its vassals later ruled from Gelgel. After Majapahit's fall in the late fifteenth century, Hindu nobles, priests and artisans fled to Bali. Gelgel's power broke apart after 1651, and a paramount court was established at Klungkung in 1686.
