History of the kingdom of Siladendeng, 14th century

From the Datu (king) of Siladendeng, 2018

Siladendeng Kingdom, one of the Sasak kingdoms in Central Lombok, no longer has a magnificent palace built and no more government is run. But this kingdom is still preserving the local cultural wisdom of Sasak. Datu Muter Jagad, Datu ‘Sila Dendeng or better known as H. Lalu Muhammad Putria is active in preserving Sasak culture and local wisdom, and is happy to share his heart with a spokesman from the NTB BPKP Province.

The history of the beginning of the Siladendeng kingdom on Earth Sasak.

Siladendeng Kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms on the island of Lombok, led by its first King, De Nek Mas Betare Pangeran Luwih, with three sons who then spread to three different regions.
De Nek Mas Betare Indra Sakti became King in Klungkung, De Nek Mas Betare Kerta Jale became King in Goa and De Nek Mas Betare Tanton Naleh settled in the kingdom of Sila Dendeng. So actually all of us from the three kingdoms are still one becanah or one breed, who ruled in different regions.

The process of acknowledging the Siladendeng kingdom

In 2004 the Archipelago Palace Research and Studies Institute verified former kingdoms in the archipelago, one of which was the Siladendeng Kingdom in Lombok which passed verification for the first time. All royal files and evidence of the former kingdom are still there, preserved and can be tested. Based on Permendagri Number 039 of 2007 concerning Facilitation of Traditional Institutions and the Archipelago Palace, a Forum for Friendship of the Archipelago Palace was formed and I was the chairman for the West Nusa Tenggara region.

History of the kingdoms on Lombok

According to the contents of Babad Lombok, the oldest kingdom that once ruled on Lombok, was named kingdom of Laeq (in sasak laeq means past time), but another source namely Babad Suwung, declared that the oldest kingdom in Lombok was the Kingdom of Suwung, built and led by King Betara Indera. The kingdom of Suwung then was replaced by the kingdom of Lombok. In the 9th century until the 11th century existed the Sasak Kingdom which was later defeated by one of the kingdoms, who came from Bali at that time.

In Lombok, in its development, there are traces of the four main kingdoms, namely the Kingdom of Bayan in the west, Selaparang Kingdom in the East, Langko Kingdom in the middle, and Pejanggik Kingdom in the south. In addition to these four kingdoms, there were small kingdoms, such as Parwa and Sokong and several small villages, such as Pujut, Tempit, Kedaro, Batu Dendeng, Kuripan, Samarkaton and Kentawang. All these kingdoms and villages became independent territory after the Majapahit kingdom collapsed. Among the most prominent and most famous kingdoms and villages was the Lombok Kingdom based in Labuhan Lombok.

The Dutch had first visited Lombok in 1674 and the Dutch East India Company concluded its first treaty with the Sasak Princess of Lombok. The Balinese had managed to take over the whole island by 1750, but Balinese infighting resulted in the island being split into four feuding Balinese kingdoms. In 1838, the Mataram kingdom brought its rivals under control.

During one of the many Sasak peasant rebellions against the Balinese, Sasak chiefs sent envoys to the Dutch in Bali and invited them to rule Lombok. In June 1894, the governor general of the Dutch East Indies, Van der Wijck, signed a treaty with Sasak rebels in eastern Lombok. He sent a large army to Lombok and the Balinese raja capitulated to Dutch demands. (see Dutch intervention in Lombok) The younger princes however overruled the raja and attacked and pushed back the Dutch. The Dutch counterattacked overrunning Mataram and the raja surrendered. The entire island was annexed to the Netherlands East Indies in 1895. The Dutch ruled over Lombok’s 500,000 people with a force of no more than 250 by cultivating the support of the Balinese and Sasak aristocracy. The Dutch are remembered in Lombok as liberators from Balinese hegemony.
