Hayam Wuruk, king of Majapahit decided, probably for political reasons, to take Princess Citra Rashmi (Pitaloka) as his spouse.

In 1357 the Sunda king and the royal family arrived in Majapahit after sailing across the Java Sea then encamped on Bubat square in the northern part of Trowulan, capital city of Majapahit, and awaited the wedding ceremony.

[3] Tradition mentions that the heartbroken Princess took her own life to defend the honour and pride of her country.

[4] According to tradition, Dyah Pitaloka's death was mourned by Hayam Wuruk and the entire population of the Sunda kingdom who had lost most members of their royal family.

This tragedy severely harmed the relationship between the two kingdoms and resulted in hostility for years to come, the situation never again returning to normality.
