Isyana stylized as Sri Isyana Tunggawijaya was a queen regnant of Medang Kingdom, in East Java, that ruled since 947 CE. She co-reigned with her spouse, Sri Lokapala. The Isyana dynasty, established by her father, Mpu Sindok that ruled Java circa the 10th century CE, was named after her.

Reign

Sri Isyana Tunggawijaya was the daughter of Mpu Sindok, a Javanese king that moved the capital of Medang Kingdom from central Java to east Java. Nothing much is known from her reign, except that her husband was Sri Lokapala, a nobleman from neighboring Bali island.
