Who was Sultan Agung of Mataram?
Sultan Agung of Mataram or Sultan Agung Anyokrokusumo or Sultan Agung Hanyokrokusumo was the Sultan of Mataram in Central Java from 1613-1645. He commissioned the building of the Karta Palace in 1614, and the Royal Graveyard of Imogiri.
Sultan Agung is subject of a substantial amount of literature due to his legacy as a Javanese ruler, a fighter against the incursions of the Dutch East India Company, an imperial conqueror, and his existence within a cultural framework where myth and magic are well intertwined with verifiable historical events and personages. Agung was responsible for the great expansion and lasting historical legacy of Mataram due to extensive military conquests during his long reign.
