#REDIRECT [[Vikramavardhana]]
'''Wikramawardhana''' was a Javanese king and succeeded [[Hayam Wuruk]] as the fifth monarch of the [[Majapahit empire]], reigning from 1389 to 1429. He was the nephew and also the son-in-law of the previous monarch<ref>{{cite book |last=Cœdès |first=George |authorlink=Georges Coedès |translator-last=Brown Cowing |translator-first=Sue |editor-last=Vella |editor-first=Walter F. |title= The Indianized States of Southeast Asia |location=Honolulu |publisher= University of Hawaii Press |date= 1968 |page=241 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=iDyJBFTdiwoC |isbn= 9780824803681 }}</ref> after taking princess Kusumawardhani, Hayam Wuruk's daughter, as his wife.  His co-reign with his queen consort was challenged by Hayam Wuruk's other offspring, Bhre Wirabhumi. Bhre Wirabhumi felt that he had a better right to be successor since he was the only son of the late monarch. Wirabhumi, however, lacked legitimacy because his mother was a [[concubine]], not the queen consort. The struggle for succession resulted in the [[Paregreg war]]. Despite Wikramawardhana's success in winning the war and defeating Wirabhumi, the civil war gravely weakened  previously unchallenged Majapahit hegemony in [[Nusantara]] and loosened Majapahit's grip on its far flung vassal kingdoms. His invasion of [[Kingdom of Singapura|Singapore]] in 1398 however, is a success.


Wikramawardhana ruled until 1429, and was succeeded by his daughter, Suhita.
