Dalem Baturenggong, also called Waturenggong or Enggong, was a King (

kingship that served as a model for later rulers on the island.[1]

Prosperous reign

Dalem Baturenggong is solely known from much later sources. He is briefly listed as king in the religious texts Usana Bali and Rajapurana Besakih, under the name Enggong.

patron and carried out an extensive literary activity. Nirartha is dated in 1537 from one of his texts, which date would then be an approximate floruit of Dalem Baturenggong's reign.[3]

Military expansion

The king proposed to marry the daughter of Sri Juru or Menak Koncar, the King of

Blambangan in East Java, but the princess refused. A Balinese army was therefore sent to Blambangan, where it trapped and killed Sri Juru. The children of the slain king fled to Pasuruan on Java's north coast, and Blambangan was brought under Balinese suzerainty. Furthermore, Lombok and West Sumbawa were brought under the authority of Dalem Baturenggong. The king left two sons, Dalem Bekung and Dalem Seganing, who reigned in turn after his death.[4]

The details of his glorious reign can not be verified from contemporary sources. Only the Portuguese writer

Muslim Demak kingdom but rebelled in c. 1546.[5] This information may not be quite trustworthy. However, European
sources from the late 16th and 17th centuries describe the Gelgel kingdom in terms reminiscent of the chronicles, and seem to presuppose a strong political expansion between the fall of Majapahit (c. 1527) and the first Dutch visit to Bali (1597).
