🌹 Disappointed and angry, made Duke Anom who kasmaran then fell ill.

🌹 Pangeran Purbaya, who is Uncle Amangkurat I feel sorry for the fate of Duke Anom (in another story mentioned is prince Pekik, grandfather from the Mother's side). He who considered Duke Anom like his own son also, finally decided to help Duke Anom for his recovery.

(There is no definitive source as to why Amangkurat I was not buried in Banyumas, and was thus taken to Tegal)

🌹The Duke of Anom himself succeeded his father to Amangkurat II after successfully suppressing the Trunojoyo rebellion.

🌹 Roro Oyi buried in Banyusurup, with the title Queen Kanjeng Amangkurat.

(The story takes place in the years 1668-1670M)

Basically, all historical stories always bring wisdom. Regardless of who is wrong and who is right, and in fact this life never presents absolute right and wrong belongs to one party.

The Javanese earthen chronicle began to be written by the scribe (caric) of Panembahan Adilangu II who lived during the reign of Pangeran Puger, (Pakubuwono I), because the story of Mataram continues to be continuous, because the story of Mataram continues, so it was continued by Tumenggung Tirtawiguna (Carik Braja) which was published during the reign of Pakubuwono III.

Composition of Balai Pustaka 1939, Javanese "Sahoyi, tiyang estri andadosakin gendra".

Wls. Olthof 1941, the love story of Duke Anom Dan Roro Oyi.
