Raden Patah

Raden Patah, also known as Jin Bun (Javanese: ꦫꦢꦺꦤ꧀ꦦꦠꦃ; Chinese: 靳文; pinyin: Jìn wén) (1455 in Jepara – 1518 in Demak) was the first sultan of the Demak Sultanate. Ascending to the throne in 1475, he remained a vassal of the Majapahit Empire until 1478. Raden Patah took the title Panembahan Jimbun after legitimizing the Sultanate of Demak as the successor state to the Majapahit Empire, with the Wali Sanga appointing him the Sultan of Demak.

The historian Merle Calvin Ricklefs distinguishes Raden Patah from a Muslim named Cek-ko-po, saying that Cek-ko-po was an outsider, most likely from China, who apparently founded the Sultanate of Demak and had a son who might have been named "Rodim", who the Portuguese also referred to by that name. Meanwhile, Tomé Pires, in his book Suma Oriental, said that "Pate Rodim" was the ruler of Demak who ruled the Palembang area. Then, one source said that it is widely believed that the Demak Sultanate was founded in 1500 by a Chinese Muslim named Cek-ko-po or his son, Raden Patah.

He was succeeded by Adipati/Lord Pati Unus and Trenggana.

Raden Patah has many names, including Praba or Raden Bagus Kasan (Hasan), who has the Chinese name Jin Bun (Chinese: 靳文; pinyin: Jìn wén).[citation needed] He is also called Senapati Jimbun or Panembahan Jimbun, has the title Sultan Syah Alam Akbar al-Fatah. According to Chinese chronicles from the Sam Poo Kong Temple in Semarang, he has a Chinese name, namely Jin Bun, without a surname in front of him, because only his mother is Chinese. Jin Bun means strong person. The name is synonymous with the Arabic name "Fatah" which means victory.

There are various versions about the origin of the founder of Kerajaan Demak.

According to Babad Tanah Jawi, Raden Patah is thought to have been the son of Brawijaya V [id], the last king of the Majapahit Empire of a Chinese concubine.[citation needed] This Chinese concubine was the daughter of Kyai Batong (aka Tan Go Hwat). After giving birth to Raden Patah, the Chinese daughter married Arya Damar (aka Swan Liong) [id], giving birth to Raden Kusen (aka Kin San).

According to Purwaka Caruban Nagari, the real name of the Chinese concubine is Siu Ban Ci, Siu Ban Ci [id] daughter of Tan Go Hwat and Siu Te Yo from Gresik. Tan Go Hwat is a trader and scholar with the title Shaykh Bantong (aka Kyai Batong).

According to the Chinese chronicle of the Sam Poo Kong temple, the nickname when Raden Patah was young was Jin Bun, son of Kung-ta-bu-mi (aka Bhre Kertabhumi [id] or Brawijaya V [id]) king of Majapahit of a Chinese concubine. Then the Chinese concubine was given to a half Chinese named Swan Liong in Palembang. Swan Liong is the son of Girishawardhana [id]) from a Chinese concubine. From this second marriage, Kin San (aka Raden Kusen) was born. This Chinese chronicle reports the birth year of Jin Bun as 1455. Therefore, Raden Patah was born before Bhre Kertabhumi was governing the Majapahit Empire (reigned 1474–1478).
