Trace the history of Kuningan District, especially cut of "The Duke of Brass" who was once a government leader in the Brass in the spread of Islam in Cirebon (West Java) and eventually surrounding it can be revealed that the name of the Duke of Brass which is actually SURANGGAJAYA. He was the son of Ki Gedeng LURAGUNG (a regional head in LURAGUNG) named JAYARAKSA. Jayaraksa also have a brother who led the BRATAWIYANA or Winduherang named BRATAWIJAYA (?) Which is also known as Ki Gedeng Kamuning or Kamuning Arya.

When Sunan Gunung Jati spread of Islam, among them until well into LURAGUNG, he followed his arrival by his wife LURAGUNG daughter named Tien Ong (Campa origin) which is also called Nyai Rara Sumanding. When it was his old pregnant wife, and at precisely LURAGUNG Nyai Rara Sumanding finally gave birth to a child. But unfortunately the new birth to a son who had died. To cure his heart is grieving, and Sunan Gunung Jati Ki ask the Gedeng LURAGUNG for his son who happened to pick up a baby for the child appointed by Sunan Gunung Jati. Child's name Suranggajaya.

In folklore Brass Other versions say that the smelly myth born by Nyai Rara Sumanding not the child, but a bowl made of metal Brass. Brass Bokor is what later became the mascot logo Brass City, in addition to Horse Brass. Also there is mention brass bowl as things "panukeur" or "tutukeuranna" among infants of Ki LURAGUNG Gedeng in exchange for brass bowl from Nyai Rara Sumanding. The stories of these myths are many colors in Kuningan search history.

After the trip LURAGUNG Sunan Gunung Jati Winduherang forwarded to the (once thought to be the center of the Kingdom government Brass / Kajene) to meet his brother who Jayaraksa ie Bratawiyana first seems to have converted to Islam. Meanwhile, holders of the reins of government in the Kingdom of Brass at the time was ruled by Queen Nyai Selawati (descendant of King Langlangbuana). Queen Selawati Hindus who had become believers in Islam after her marriage to Maulana Sheikh Arifin (son of Sheikh Maulana Akbar). Sheikh Maulana Akbar himself was a scholar of Persian origin who allegedly made it to the Brass and spread Islam there. Brass coming to that time would advance the permission of Sunan Gunung Jati Cirebon ruling Islamic kingdom which began to grow and spread Islam vigorously. Sheikh Maulana Akbar arrival spread Islam to the Brass is earlier than Sunan Gunung Jati. Maybe it can be said Sheikh Maulana Akbar as the pioneer of the spread of Islam to the Kuningan, while Sunan Gunung Jati further refine again. Arrival time of Maulana Sheikh Akbar spread Islam in Kuningan estimated start happening in 1450.

When Sunan Gunung Jati to the Winduherang, he left his adopted son is (Suranggajaya) for mothered by Bratawiyana (Arya Kamuning). Also Sunan Gunung Jati was told that the child will grow up eventually became the ruler Kuningan area. Care during this Kamuning Arya deposited even children were given a nickname Kamuning Raden, presumably closer to the psychological relationships (inner) between the father (foster care) with a son (foster care) it.

In Cirebon news sources (CPCN / Carita Purwaka CARUBAN Nagari) and book by PS Sulendraningrat even mentioned again that along with caring adoptive son of Sunan Gunung Jati, actually Bratawiyana (Arya Kamuning) also had children who were both raised (the same age as Suranggajaya) namely Ewangga. But on the other sources mentioned that the figures Dipati Ewangga is a nobleman who came from Parahyangan (Cianjur) is at first wanted to learn from / to learn the religion of Islam to Sunan Gunung Jati, then by Sunan Gunung Jati was ordered to go to the Brass only helps his adopted son (ie Suranggajaya ) in managing government in Kuningan. Which is true, the obvious existence of Ewangga Dipati diceriterakan their work as much of "commander" Brass soldiers who had helped Mataram Cirebon and when he attacked the Dutch in Batavia (so there is a settlement Kuningan in Jakarta).

As adults, the age of 17 years, finally the promise of Sunan Gunung Jati raised his son became ruler in Kuningan was done. Suranggajaya then appointed leader of Brass with its popular nickname of the Duke of Kuningan. Titimangsanya supposedly coincided with the date of 1 September 1478, commemorated as the birth day of Kuningan.

However, when viewed politically, actually since then is "Kingdom" Brass has fallen. No longer a royal sovereign or independent, but tied into the subordinate kingdom of Cirebon. That means if we see the existence of the Kingdom Brass way since the days of the early Hindu birth, called the Kingdom Brass (king: The Pandavas) - Kingdom Saunggalah (king: Demunawan / Rahangtang Nails / Seuweukarma) is a sovereign kingdom. Then by the Kingdom dibawahkan Galuh (king: Rhy Banga), then appeared again become the center of government by the son Rakeyan Darmasiksa, namely King Ragasuci / The Lumahing Park. Furthermore under control by the King of Sunda Padjadjaran Siliwangi. Then came the Kingdom Brass era Kajene called King Langlangbuana / Langlangbumi and passed on to Queen Selawati (small kingdoms under the influence of the Kingdom of Sunda Pajajaran), and finally when he ruled the Duke of Brass, the royal government fell under the influence of the Kingdom of Cirebon.
