The Kediri campaign took place from August to December 1678 in Kediri (in modern-day East

Java, Indonesia) during the Trunajaya rebellion. The forces of the Mataram Sultanate, led by
Amangkurat II, and the Dutch East India Company, led by Anthonio Hurdt, moved inland into eastern Java
against Trunajaya's forces. After a series of marches beset by logistical difficulties and harassment by
Trunajaya's forces, the Javanese–Dutch army crossed the Brantas River on the night of 16–17 November.
They marched on Trunajaya's capital and stronghold at Kediri and took it by direct assault on 25
November. Kediri was plundered by the victors, and the Mataram treasury—captured by Trunajaya after
his victory at Plered—was completely lost in the looting. Trunajaya himself fled Kediri and continued his
greatly weakened rebellion until his capture at the end of 1679. (Full article...)
