Lawu. The Sunanate was established by Ki Ageng Mertapa Turanawangsa, which later titled Hamangkuturana I (r. 1517-1520). It existed from the early 15th century until its dissolution in 18th century amid the Javanese War of Succession. The kingdom had played role in series of war such as Bantarangin-Demak-Pajang War, Second Geger Pakemuningan, and Javanese War of Succession along with their allies. Bantarangin reached its glorious and victorious peak during the reign of Hamangkuturana II (r. 1520-1540) and Pakunegara I (r. 1648-1679), in fact they lost their influence of power after the death of the Panembahan Pakunata IV (r. 1587-1607). They began to feel threatened by several uprisings in some nearby regions.
