Amangkurat IV of Mataram

Amangkurat IV was the son of Pakubuwono I, and Susuhunan Mataram between 1719 and 1726. His son was ruler of Mataram, Pakubuwono II.

Genealogy Sunan Amangkurat IV, also known as Sunan Jawi, was born as Raden Mas Suryaputra. He was the son of Pakubuwana I and by his queen consort, Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Pakubuwana (also known as Ratu Mas Balitar), daughter of Pangeran Harya Balitar IV, a descendant of Pangeran Juminah, who was the son of Panembahan Senapati and Ratu Ratna Dumilah.

Reign Succession in Kartasura In 1703, Amangkurat II died and was succeeded by his son, Raden Mas Sutikna, who took the title Amangkurat III.

The severe impact of the Trunajaya rebellion in Plered had previously forced Amangkurat II to move the court to the village of Wanakarta, establishing a new palace named Kartasura in 1680. The Kartasura Palace became the primary seat of the Mataram Sultanate following the destruction of the Plered Palace. However, Pangeran Puger (Amangkurat II's brother) remained in Plered and initially refused to recognize his brother's authority. Following a period of friction, Pangeran Puger eventually surrendered and recognized his brother's sovereignty in 1681.

Despite this, Pangeran Puger maintained significant support among the royal family. In 1704, Amangkurat III dispatched troops to arrest him. Alerted by Cakrajaya (Danureja)—who acted as a spy disguised as a grass cutter—Pangeran Puger fled to Semarang to seek assistance from the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The Dutch agreed to support him under various conditions. One year later, in 1705, a joint force of Dutch, Semarang, West Madura, and Surabaya troops launched an attack on Kartasura.

On the advice of Arya Mataram, Amangkurat III was forced to flee to Ponorogo, taking the royal heirlooms (pusaka) with him. Pangeran Puger and his coalition successfully occupied Kartasura, where he ascended the throne with the title Pakubuwana I. As compensation for Dutch military support, Pakubuwana I was forced to cede the coastal territory of Semarang and its surroundings to the VOC under a mortgage status.

Amangkurat IV was succeeded by his 15-year-old son, Raden Mas Prabasuyasa, who ascended the throne as Pakubuwana II. The new monarch's reign was later marked by further instability and conflicts with Sunan Kuning (a grandson of Amangkurat III), Pangeran Mangkubumi (his brother), and Pangeran Sambernyawa (his nephew). These internal power struggles eventually led to the decline of Mataram's sovereignty and increased Dutch intervention, culminating in the Treaty of Giyanti and the Treaty of Salatiga.
