Sunda

The Sunda dynasty ruled the Hindu Sunda Kingdom of western Java from at least the tenth century until 1579, its court moving between Kawali and Pakuan Pajajaran. In the fourteenth century Prabu Ajigunawisesa held court at Kawali, and Sunda was named among the targets of Gajah Mada's Palapa oath of 1336.

The 1357 Battle of Bubat destroyed a Sunda royal party at the Majapahit capital, killing King Prabu Maharaja and the princess Dyah Pitaloka. Niskala Wastu Kancana rebuilt Kawali's walls, and Sri Baduga Maharaja's reign from 1482 to 1521, remembered as the age of Prabu Siliwangi, was a golden age of pepper wealth at Pakuan Pajajaran.

As Islam spread along the coast, Cirebon broke away in 1482 and Sunda Kalapa fell in 1527. Banten sacked the capital in the 1550s and extinguished the kingdom in 1579; the surviving court retired to Sumedang Larang.
