JAVA FREES CHAMPA FROM MONGOL COLLECTION

JAVA FREES CHAMPA FROM MONGOL COLLECTION Champa's chaotic condition due to the Mongol invasion made King Kertanegara sympathetic and sent aid to Prince Harijit. Singasari's help was able to free Champa from the grip of the Mongols, so that in 1288 the Mongol troops were completely expelled from Champa. After expelling the Mongols with the help of Singasari, Prince Hajirit ascended the throne to become the new King of Champa with the title Jaya Simhavarman III. As for building good relations with the Singasari kingdom, which took part in expelling the Mongols, King Jaya Simhavarman III married Ratu Tapasi, King Kertanegara's younger sister.
