Isyana Dynasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Isyana Dynasty, rulers of the Kingdom of Medang, was a dynasty of the Hindu Kingdom of Mataram on the island of Java. It followed the Sanjaya Dynasty, and was established by Mpu Sindok, who moved the capital of the Mataram Kingdom from Central Java to East Java around the year 928. The name "Isyana" came from the name of Mpu Sindok's son and successor, "Sri Isyanatunggawijaya", who in turn was succeeded by Makutawangsawardhana, followed by Dharmawangsa. The Isyana Dynasty came to an end when the Sriwijaya Kingdom attacked and destroyed the capital of Mataram in the year 1006.
