Sumedang Larang (
Pegon: كراجأن سومدڠ لارڠ) is an Islamic Kingdom based in
Sumedang,
West Java. Its territory consisted of the
Parahyangan region, before becoming a vassal state under the
Mataram Sultanate.
History
This kingdom was founded in 721 AD by Prabu
Tajimalela, descendant of the king
Wretikandayun of
Galuh Kingdom, in the former territory of
Tembong Agung Kingdom.[2] This kingdom was also known as the Kingdom of Himbar Buana before changing its name to Sumedang Larang.[3][4] Sumedang Larang status as part of the
Sunda Kingdom and Galuh between the 8th century to the 16th century AD, where the ruler is under the ruler of the two kingdoms.[5][6] The capital city of Sumedang Larang at the time of its establishment was in Citebong Girang, which is currently included in the Cikeusi, Darmaraja, Sumedang.[2][7]
Islam began to develop in this region during the reign of
Prince Santri (1530–1578 AD).[8][9] During his reign, Sumedang Larang joined the
Cirebon Sultanate. In 1578 AD, his son named Prince Angkawijaya received the inheritance
Pajajaran and was crowned King of Sumedang Larang with the title
Prabu Geusan Ulun, where this heirloom signifies Sumedang Larang as the legitimate successor of the Sunda Kingdom breed.[10][11] According to
Babad Sumedang, the Sumedang Larang area is bounded by
Java Sea in the north,
Cipamugas River in the west,
Indian Ocean in the south, and
Cipamali in the east.[12][13] The Sunda kingdom itself collapsed in 1579 AD after Pulasari in Pandeglang was conquered by
Maulana Yusuf of Banten (Burak Pajajaran).[14][15]
The collapse of the
Sunda Kingdom made the former territory divided between the
Banten Sultanate in the west and the Cirebon Sultanate in the east. Due to the occurrence of
The Harisbaya incident, Sumedang Larang under King Geusan Ulun in 1585 declared itself a sovereign state and separated from Cirebon.[16][17] The independence of Sumedang Larang did not last long, only around 35 years. Due to the situation at that time which was relatively weak and squeezed between the three great powers (Banten, Cirebon, and
Demak). Prabu
Aria Suriadiwangsa in 1620 AD decided to join Mataram, where the status of Sumedang Larang was reduced from a kingdom to a regency under
Mataram.[18][19][7]
