Paku Alam I

Paku Alam I, 1st Duke of Pakualaman originally known as Bendara Pangeran Harya Natakusuma, was the first Prince of Pakualaman, rewarded for helping the British quell the conflict in Yogyakarta in June 1812. Pakualaman became a small hereditary Principality within the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, as a mirror-image of the Principality of Mangkunegaran within the territory of the Susuhunanate of Surakarta. Paku Alam I ruled from 1812 to 1829 and was buried at Kota Gede.
