Amangkurat I

Amangkurat I (1619 – 13 July 1677), born Raden Mas Sayyidin, was susuhunan of Mataram in Java from 1646 to 1677, son and successor of Sultan Agung. He centralised the sultanate through purges of nobles and — in the report of the Dutch envoy Rijcklof van Goens, followed by both the English and Indonesian articles — a massacre of ulema and their families in 1648 put at some 5,000-6,000 people, moved the court from Karta to Plered, and in 1677 was driven out by the Trunajaya rebellion, dying in flight near Tegal and succeeded by his son Amangkurat II.
