Origins
He is the son of Raden Wijaya with one of his concubine, Dara Petak. Therefore, Jayanagara is not the legitimate successor for Majapahit. But, Raden Wijaya (who didn't have any other son), still promoted him as a young king. This occurance is the source of Halayudha's plot to kill Raden WIjaya's friends and became Mahapati (The Great Advisor).

Ra Kuti's Rebellion
After Raden Wijaya's death, The crown of Majapahit is held by Jayanagara. But unlike his father, he rules the kingdom with cruelty. This was happened because he fear that he will be killed, and his throne will be taken. He also forbid his two sisters to married, because he affraid that, if one of his sisters married, his throne will be taken by his brother-in-law (Jayanagara's sisters are Kertanegara's descendant).

Unknown to him, one of his sisters named Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, has a friend named Gajah Mada. One day, Tribhuwana told her friend about her brother's attitude toward her. Angry by this info, Gajah Mada promise to kill the King, and give the throne to Tribhuwana.

The First plan, is making Gajah Mada into the most confidant person of Jayanagara. To ensure this, Gajah Mada provoke one of Majapahit's royal occupant named Ra Kuti, to incite the rebellion. There are two objective in this rebellion. First is to kill Halayudha (because this person has killed Gaah Mada's teacher, Ranggalawe), and second, to take over the kingdom.

Ra Kuti soon manage to control the kingdom. All royal family are flee from palace. And Jayanagara was saved by Gajah Mada (Unknown to Jayanagara, this is also Gajah Mada's plot to kill him). After unsuring that all of the royal family are safe, Gajah Mada with a troop called Bhayangkara, attack the kingdom and kill Ra Kuti.

Assassination
The next plan of Gajah Mada to kill Jayanagara is to assassinate him by one of his doctor. This oportunity's come when one of Royal Doctor named Ra Tanca, told Gajah Mada that his wife has been seduced by Jayanagara. Using this info as his weapon, Gajah Mada (now become the royal advisor) poison the king, and later command Ra Tanca to kill the king when he pretend to cure the king's ill. Ra Tanca was killed by Gajah Mada right after the death of Jayanagara.

Because Jayanagara didn't have any child, the throne is move to his step mother (one of Raden Wijaya's wife and Kertanegara's daughter) named Gayatri. But Gayatri has become a Bhuddist nun and retired from worldly affairs (Gajah Mada knew about this). Gayatri promote his daughter, to become the next ruler of Majapahit. His daughter is Tribhuwana Tunggadewi.

Therefore, Gajah Mada succeded to bring the throne of Majapahit to his best friend.
