Javanese folklore from Yogyakarta are collected from various sources (see references). If there is a new story, it will be added soon. Hope it will be useful.
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.
This is a folklore from Yogyakarta. In ancient times, the Gods in heaven placed a mountain in the middle of Java Island. The mountain is named Jamurdipa. The purpose of placing a mountain on the island of Java is none other than to balance the shape of the land on the island. The island of Java turns out to have uneven land, there are highlands, lowlands, valleys, ravines and so on. Initially, Mount Jamurdipa was located in the South Coast area, but the mountain was moved to the border of Sleman, Boyolali, and Klaten Regencies.
