History of the kingdom
Noimutti became a part of Dutch-Timor officially in 1916. Made part of Miomaffo principality, with which it had no ties. Noimutti was a sort of churchstate; founded by the Roman Catholic Portugese church. The rule of the Rajas were replaced by the church. Ca. 1800 there was a short rule of a Sonbai prince. When the Portugese removed their central rule from OEcusse Embeno area to Dili, the government influence of the church also became lesser. A brother of the Liurai of OEcusse Ambeno, greatgrandfather of the presaent Raja, became the first Raja of Noimutti of the da Costa dynasty. In the Dutch time the Dutch choose to let Noimutti be ruled by the Fettor (vice-Raja) dynasty of N.:the Salems, because the da Costa’s were considered as being to much pro-Portugese. Later the Raja dynasty came back shortly before the WW II. Later on (after WW II) the Salems began again the actual rulers of the area, but the da Costa’s remained as the Raja-dynasty. The present Raja is not installed officially, but you could name him Raja anyway.
