Edit ProfileCareer
During the reign of the fourth Amangkurat, the Kingdom of Mataram in Java was not free from the turmoil of civil war. During this conflict, the Dutch gave full support to Prince Mangkunegara so that the two brothers could no longer carry out their rebellion. The presence of Prince Mangkunegara instead of Pakubuwono had been prepared long before the death of the King.
In March 1715, Mangkunegara Prince Arya (Child Pakubuwono One) was officially announced as the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Mataram.
In the same year, the appointment of Crown Prince was accompanied by the cannon shots of Gunturgeni, along with the ritual of cutting of the hair of the Crown King. Mangkunegara became the fourth Amangkurat to rule Mataram.
Degree Mangkunegara was later inherited by the eldest son, Royal Marines Suro who was then titled Prince Arya Mangkunegara Kartasura. Amangkurat"s story continues with the death due to poisoning and possible successor positions shifted to the younger brother of King RM Prabasuyasa.
