Early life
According to the book of Nagarakretagama, she was the daughter of Bhre Lasem, possibly Princess Indudevi.
[1] However, according to the book of Pararaton, she was the daughter of the King's sister, Princess Isywari, also known as Bhre Pajang.
Marriage
Nagarawardhani lived in the days of Bubat War when Hayam Wuruk fought against the Kingdom of Padjadjaran to compete for Padjadjaran princess, Dyah Pitaloka.[2]
Nagarawardhani was later married to Bhre Wirabhumi,[1] also the son of King Hayam Wuruk whose mother was one of the royal concubines.[3] Nagarawardhani also known as Be Laem Alemu, which means flat in Bhre Lasem.[2] The story of Nagarawardhani and her husband, Bhre Wirabuhmi, is told in the book Nagarakretagama, and in Pararaton.[2]
After Hayam Wuruk died, the struggle for the throne continued between Wikramawardhana and Nagarawardhani's husband, Bhre Wirabhumi in the Regreg war. The war concluded when Wikramawardhana became King of Majapahit and reunited the Majapahit kingdom.[3]
