List of current non-sovereign Asian monarchs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of reigning non-sovereign monarchs, including traditional rulers and governing constitutional monarchs. Each monarch listed below reigns over a legally recognised dominion, but in most cases possess little or no sovereign governing power. Their titles, however, are recognised by the state. Entries are listed beside their respective dominions, and are grouped by country.

Indonesia[edit]

Present information regarding governmental recognition of traditional monarchs in Indonesia is inadequate. In some instances below, pre-colonial polities have been restored, and the royal titles of their leaders have been nominally confirmed. In other cases, the government has refused to revive monarchies that had been abolished during the earliest years of the republic. Despite the historical suppression of these dynasties, a large number have retained their culture, identity, and their status within their own communities. Royal titles are still widely used, bestowed in formal enthronement ceremonies conducted without formal recognition from Jakarta.[citation needed]

In recent years, the number of dynasties receiving recognition as nominal cultural authorities has steadily increased.[1] However, because it remains unclear as to which monarchies have not yet been recognised, the list below will contain all extant Indonesian dynasties on which there is information available. Monarchs that have explicitly been denied recognition are listed under pretenders. The Sultan of Yogyakarta and the Duke of Pakualaman are listed separately due to the constitutional nature of their position.

Notes[edit]

Indonesia[edit]

  1. ^ Formally installed on 7 March 1989.
  2. ^ Jump up to: a b c d A branch of the Kartasura dynasty.
  3. ^ Jump up to: a b While state law requires that all provincial governors be elected, in the case of Yogyakarta, the sultan is given priority during elections, and therefore is always the default governor. In addition, the reigning Pakualam (see under Java) is normally given preference when selecting the vice-governor. As in other provinces, considerable administrative power is also ceded to the central government.
  4. ^ Jump up to: a b A branch of the Gelgel dynasty.
  5. ^ Jump up to: a b The rajas of Denpasar and Pamecutan, two dynastical divisions of the formerly unified kingdom of Badung, both use the hereditary regnal name "Pemecutan". Ngurah Jambe of Denpasar is formally referred to as Pemecutan IX, while Ngurah Manik of Pamecutan is known as Pemecutan XI. The numerical appendages are not interconnected.
  6. ^ Jump up to: a b c A branch of the Badung dynasty.
  7. ^ The previous head of the royal family and the last recognised king of Ubud, Tjokorda Gde Agung Sukawati, died in 1978. His eldest son, Gde Putra, is the present head of the family. He has not yet been installed as king, however, and instead serves as prince regent.
  8. ^ Jump up to: a b c A Banjar dynasty.
  9. ^ Jump up to: a b A Dayak dynasty.
  10. ^ Jump up to: a b A Bugis dynasty.
  11. ^ Also known as the Alkadrie, Kadriah, or Kadariah dynasty.
  12. ^ Muhammad Tarhan succeeded as head of the royal family following the death of his father in 2008. Like his father, however, he has not been installed as sultan, and instead acts as prince regent. He is also a minor, born in 1993.
  13. ^ Also commonly written as Sampang.
  14. ^ Muhammad Ikhsani Syafiuddin was recognised as Panembahan of Sintang by the government in 2003. He was formally enthroned as Panembahan Sri Kusuma Negara V on 26 September 2005.
  15. ^ Muhammad Ismetullah was recognised as Head of the Royal House of Banten when the sultanate was revived in 1985. He was recognised as crown prince in 2003, but has yet to be formally enthroned as sultan.

  17. ^ Following the death of the previous sultan, Muhammad Djalaluddin, a dispute of succession arose between two of his sons. Muhammad Emiruddin, the current occupant of the palace, is the rightful heir to his father according to the relevant laws of succession. He was actively opposed by his elder half-brother, Muhammad Saladin, who was "installed" by his supporters on 5 March 2003. Saladin later renounced his claim on 12 September 2003, and the local government has recognised Emiruddin as the sole successor.
  18. ^ Jump up to: a b Now it covers the entire Sumedang Regency area.
  19. ^ Also commonly known as Solo.
  20. ^ Upon the death of Pakubuwono XII in 2004, with no successor named, there arose two rival claims to the throne. Two of his sons, Hangabehi and Tejowulan, each had themselves "crowned" as the next Susuhunan. The dispute likely still exists, although family consensus apparently favours the elder brother, Hangabehi, who is also the sole titleholder recognised by the government. In either case, both claimants would use the regnal name of Pakubuwono XIII.
  21. ^ The sultan is selected from amongst a group of royal candidates by a council of the family's four main branches: Iskandar Alam, Tarafannur, Kamarullah, and Tunggulawang, each of which is descended from a past sultan. Since 1797, the sultans have been exclusively of the Kamarullah branch.
  22. ^ Lodewijk was selected as raja on 24 May 2005. He was installed later, in December of the same year.
  23. ^ A branch of the House of Pesulima, which is descended from the Majapahit kings of Java.
  24. ^ Since 1380, the rulers of Ternate have also held the title Kolano Maloko, which denotes supremacy among the Moluccan sultanates. Prior to then it had been worn by the ruler of Jailolo.
  25. ^ The royal family of is well known for producing albino kings, hence the king is often called Raja Bule.

  28. ^ Jump up to: a b A Kowiai dynasty.

  32. ^ Formal enthronement took place in 2000.
  33. ^ The last manek of Dengka died in 1970. His heir apparent, who has not yet acceded to the throne, is Prince Jeremias Tungga. At present, Prince Godlief Eliazar Tungga serves as prince regent.
  34. ^ The last manek of Korbafo, Leoanan Nathaniel Manubulu, died in 2000. The throne has remained vacant since then.
  35. ^ The last manek of Landu, Marthen Matheos Johannes, died in 2008. His son Willem Marthen Johannes is the heir apparent, but has not been enthroned. He serves as prince regent.
  36. ^ Formal enthronement took place in 2004.
  37. ^ The last manek of Ringgou, Hendrik Daoed, died in 2002. His son Christian Daoed is the heir apparent, but has not yet been enthroned. He serves as prince regent.

  41. ^ The present tomundo, born in 1993, is a minor, and reigns alongside a regent.

The latter two were religious titles, while the first was considered the paramount ruler (or emperor) of the temporal world.
  52. ^ Jump up to: a b A Minangkabau dynasty. The seat of the Minangkabau emperor, who is considered the paramount monarch of all Minangkabauw people in Sumatra and Malaya, is Pagaruyung.

The other chiefs are: Gideon Broery of Amabi,[40] Esthon Leyloh of Foenay (also spelled Funai),[41] and Daud Tanof of Taebenu.[citation needed] The present chief of the Helong nation is Soleman Bislissin.[42] They are all hereditary positions.
  62. ^ Leopold succeeded as head of the royal family of Sonbai Kecil upon the death of his father on 14 November 1992. He was proclaimed regent of the Kupang confederacy in 1993. He was formally installed as king in 2004.
  63. ^ While the elected loros do not belong to any one royal lineage, succession has historically been limited to the Bunak people.
  64. ^ Lamaknen was formed as a confederation of small Timorese fiefdoms. Its monarch is elected by the hereditary chiefs of each constituent state. The chiefs themselves are not normally considered candidates for election.
  65. ^ Originally subordinate to the Sonbai kingdom under the name of Amakono.
  66. ^ The recognised liurai died in 2003. His longtime rival, Dominikus Tei Serang, from another branch of the royal family, was "enthroned" by his supporters on 9 August 2003. It is unclear whether his title has been recognised. At present, there are other claimants to the throne.
  67. ^ A Tetun dynasty.
  68. ^ Sovereignty in Barnusa was historically divided between two ruling clans: the Baso and the Blegur, the leaders of which both wore the title Raja of Barnusa.

The current Kapitan is Bastian C. Blegur (since 1973).
