King Siliwangi
Deceased Person
Who is King Siliwangi?
Siliwangi is a legendary great king of the Sunda kingdom in West Java. The Sunda kingdom flourished between 669 to 1759 CE. He brought the kingdom greatness and prosperity. Some accounts of his life are taken from the Pantun Sunda oral tradition that describe his reign as a glorious era for the Sundanese people. Traditions associated him with the tiger and sometimes the black and white Javan leopard.
The character of King Siliwangi is semi-mythology since in Sundanese oral tradition simply identify the great king of Sunda as "King Siliwangi" regardless the era or historical periods. As the result the tale of this king spanned greatly from the mythical era of Sundanese gods to the coming of Islam to the land of Sunda and the fall of the kingdom.
