Present Sulthan Muhammad Jamaluddin II of Simpang

Karaeng H. Andi Abdul Rauf Maro Karaeng Rewa of Tallo

Tallo already consisted in the 15th century and is a branch of a dynasty, which later ruled Gowa and Tallo. Tallo is considerd as a brotherstate of Gowa.
For many times the raja of Tallo was mostly the prime-minister of Gowa as well.
Because the last Raja Karaeng La Makka Daeng Parani was very recalcitrant towards Dutch rule (not only being anti-Dutch), he was deposed 16-4-1856, afetre having ruled for 6 years.Because the dynasty was all the time very non-cooperative, the Dutch east-Indish Government decided to abolish the monarchy in Tallo.
He was allowed after a short while to rule in the vasal-principality of Lipukasi in Tanette, in which he had some rights.
He did that for quite a long time.

Regent-Sultana Ina Ka'u Siti Mariam Rahmat Salahuddin of Bima

She is one of the most extraordinary persons in the royalty network of Indonesia. As a young woman she was interested and preserved the knowledge of the royal culture of Bima sultanate in a time, when it wasn't really good to concern yourself with it, because Indonesia now was a republic.She was the daughter of the last ruling (and loved) Sultan of Bima.
When the Indonesian government allowed to occupy yourself more with the royal culture and - history, thenshe could come back with all her knowledge, that is why the showing of Bima royal culture is so genuine, because she knows the real culture.
hen her brother died some years ago, his son became dynastychief,but not installed a Sultan, because she thought he also must know more about the royal culture (when it was allowed) to be a good king of Bima according to the customs of Bima.
She was then Regent-Sultana of Bima.The cousin became later even Bupati (Civil Regent) of Bima.
She erally wants to show only eral things in life. She is still all the time seeking in Holland, Indonesia, etc. the documents about the real history and culture of Bima and NTB province. She is very much loved by her own people throughout Indonesia and very much respected by the other monarchs of Indonesia.

LAST RULING MONARCH OF INDONESIA DIED

Manek Marthen Matheos Johannis and Dynastychief Willem Marthen Johannis of Landu

The manek, or Raja of Landu depicted here was the last ruling monarch of Indonesia until he died 18-3-2008. He ruled 1960-1966. Actually his brother was the crownprince, but he was alerady a judge in the big city of Kupang on the nearby island os Timor, so he gave his rights to the dignity to his younger brother. Landu is considered as the oldestso most respected culturally principality of Rote-islands. It is situated on a peninsula, which connection via land is flooded part of the year (ca. half of the year), that is why the landu people are not very much mixed with other peoples. Euroepan people thought befiorem, that the Landu people were actually a mix of Portugese and Melayu people. Sometimes they look very much like Arabs.
The present dynastychief is hisn oldest son and he was before the mayor of the royal town in Landu area; nowadays called Sotimori.

Karaeng Haji Ali Mallongbasi of Sanrabone

Sanrabone is a little principality south of Makassar. In the makassar,or Gowa area there were several little principalities founded by high, or lower descendants of a Gowa sultan.Sanrabone is descended from a high prince. In ca. 1860 the principalities in this area mostly lost their indirect monarchy rule and became regencies; ruled however still by the dynasties.
Sanrabone principality was for a time under the sway of Gowa,of course later made a bit more independent by Holland. The dynasty was quite a lot intermarried with the Gowa dynasty, so that several rajas of sanrabone also were Sultans of Gowa.
The present Karaeng of sanrabone was insrtalled shortly after this picture was taken. He has a special coloured belt with blocks around his waist. That means in Bugis/Makasarese royal world, that he is a Monarch.
