How it ended, as its article says

Dissolved by several petty states. Read from the article's section “History - First disintegration (1677)” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

By doing so, the Sultan of Banten disintegrated and weakened while the Sultanate of Cirebon fragmented into several petty states.
