Viddy Lamongan humanist A.D. Daery mentions a number of folklore tells that Gajah Mada Mada is a child born in the village (now the District Modo, Lamongan). 

 The Majapahit era (1293-1527), the area was named Pamotan Lamongan. Based on folklore, Gajah Mada is the son of the King of Majapahit unlawfully (the term ox peteng or illegitimate child) with a beautiful girl child of a village headman (headman) Lanang time. Children who named Joko Modo or youth from the village of Mada was estimated to be born around the year 1300. Grandfather Gajah Mada, who was named professor Mada, brought Joko Modo to Cancing Village, District Ngimbang. Region closer to biluluk, one Pakuwon in Pamotan, Majapahit fort in the northern region.

Two years later he was appointed as Patih Kediri. there is little basis on why she is considered from the Modo - Lamongan. The area Cancing Ngimbang are found inscriptions - inscription allegedly legacy of Majapahit, and anyway this area is closest to the border Lamongan - Mojokerto. Mantup precisely in the area, 20 kilometers south of Lamongan. so it is very possible when Gajah Mada come from Lamongan. given the strong evidence of proof of inscription in the area inibahkan place is also very organized as a fief. including some ancient tomb warriors. ancient tombs are also strongly suspected as the tomb of the mother of Gajah Mada. Nyai Andong Sari. In 1329, the Majapahit Patih Aryo cistern (MPU Krewes) wants to resign from his post. He pointed Gajah Mada of Kediri as his successor. Gajah Mada himself did not directly approve.

Before I conquered Desert Island, the island of Seram, Tanjungpura, Island Haru, Island Pahang, Dompo, Bali, Sunda, Palembang, Tumasik, I will not taste the palapa (happiness).) While there are a number of (or even many) people who doubt his oath, Gajah Mada was almost conquered the archipelago.

Dyah Pitaloka suicide after my father and the rest of his entourage were killed in the battle. As a result of the incident, Gajah Mada disabled from his post. (It looks like this is the background of prohibiting a girl to find a husband Java Sunda ... because it will evoke bad memories of the past ...) In Nagarakretagama told things are a bit different.
