Isyana stylized as Sri Isyana Tunggawijaya was a queen regnant of Mataram Kingdom, in East Java, that ruled since 947 CE. She co-reigned with her spouse, Sri Lokapala.[1] The Isyana dynasty, established by her father, Mpu Sindok that ruled Java circa the 10th century CE, was named after her.[2]

Reign

Sri Isyana Tunggawijaya was the daughter of Mpu Sindok, a Javanese king that moved the capital of Mataram Kingdom from central Java to east Java.[1] Nothing much is known from her reign, except that her husband was Sri Lokapala, a nobleman from neighboring Bali island.

According to Pucangan inscription, the successor of royal couple Isyana-Lokapala was their son, Sri Makutawangsa Wardhana.
