When the Majapahit Kingdom was led by King Brawijaya V, there was an upheaval in the palace. This conflict resulted in King Brawijaya V deciding to exile his empress, namely Princess Campa. Princess Campa was a gift from the Kingdom of China to King Brawijaya V. At that time, Princess Campa was pregnant with King Brawijaya V.
Several months later, Putri Campa gave birth to a child from King Brawijaya V. The child was finally given the name Raden Patah.
Because Princess Campa has been divorced and married to Arya Damar. Finally Putri Campa also had a child from Arya Damar. The child is named Raden Kusen.
Not long after, Raden Kusen and Raden Patah were all grown up. The two sons went to study from Sunan Ampel in Surabaya. After studying at Sunan Ampel in Surabaya, Raden Kusen finally came to the Majapahit Kingdom in disguise. Until finally, Raden Kusen was accepted as a palace servant.
Raden Kusen was very favored by the palace residents. Raden Kusen's prowess made him trusted as the Duke of Eggplant in the Majapahit Kingdom. In another place, Raden Patah opened an Islamic boarding school. The Islamic boarding school that was founded by Raden Patah is called Glagahwangi and is located in Central Java.
Once upon a time, Raden Kusen invited his brother, Raden Patah, to go to see King Brawijaya V. After they met King Brawijaya V, they told them the truth.
"Your Majesty, Raden Patah is the son of Princess Campa and the king. Meanwhile, I am the son of Princess Campa and Arya Damar. I am your grandson from Arya Damar, ”said Raden Kusen.
Raden Patah Appointed as Regent of Glagahwangi / Demak
Initially, King Brawijaya V did not believe what was explained by Raden Kusen. Raden Kusen and Raden Patah continued to convince King Brawijaya V about their true identities. After listening to the explanation of their origins, finally King Brawijaya V believed their statement. Raden Patah was finally appointed by King Brawijaya V to become Regent of Glagahwangi. Finally, Glagahwangi changed its name to Demak.
Under the leadership of Raden Patah, Demak became a rapidly developing region in terms of trade. Many traders, especially Muslim traders who stopped at the port in Demak. Raden Patah can lead the Demak area in a short time to become a developed city. Until finally, the Semarang region can be controlled by Raden Patah.
Raden Patah Islamized Majapahit
To Islamize his father, King Barawijaya V, Raden Patah intended to attack Majapahit. However, the desire was opposed by Sunan Ampel, a teacher from Raden Patah. However, the intention reappeared after Sunan Ampel died.
Raden Patah finally succeeded in conquering the Majapahit Kingdom. Many residents of the Majapahit Kingdom embraced Islam. However, King Brawijaya V and his followers ran away to avoid the influence of Raden Patah. King Brawijaya V did not want to embrace Islam despite being persuaded by his son, Raden Patah.
King Brawijaya V and his followers fled to the Gunung Kidul area. They finally stopped at the place and wanted to rest. King Brawijaya's followers wanted to stop at a hut there to unwind. However, Raden Patah's army had besieged King Brawijaya V's army. King Brawijaya V still did not want to embrace Islam and managed to escape.

The Origin of Gubug Rubuh (Rubuh's Hut)
While the followers of King Brawijaya V were guided to Islam by Raden Patah, the Prabu still fled to the south of Gunung Kidul. Once there, he did not continue his escape and ended his life there.
At the place of conversion of the followers of King Brawijaya V, it was finally named by the locals as Gubuk Rubuh. "Gubuk" is defined as a house, and "Rubuh" is defined as the collapse of the body while prostrating (to perform prayers).
This story is taken from the Gunung Kidul area, Yogyakarta. In that area, there is a hamlet called “Gubug Rubuh”. As a result, the area was made into a folk tale from Yogyakarta, along with the story.
