This manuscript presents a detailed account of the historical developments and military conflicts surrounding the establishment of two major Javanese courts: the Surakarta Sunanate and the Yogyakarta Sultanate. It chronicles the political journey leading to the bifurcation of royal authority, including episodes of warfare, negotiation, and territorial reconfiguration. The narrative captures not only the armed struggles and dynastic disputes but also the broader socio-cultural and spiritual dimensions that legitimized the founding of these two rival yet intertwined centers of power in Central Java.
