Thaha Syaifuddin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thaha Syaifuddin (1816–1904) became Sultan of Jambi in 1855.[1] However, he refused to renew treaties imposed on his predecessors by the Dutch, who invaded Jambi in 1858 and imposed a series of sultans[2] who, under Dutch control, reigned over much of the sultanate until 1899.[1] Thaha, however, continued to claim the sultanate and to rule over its less accessible parts until he was killed by Dutch soldiers in 1904.[1] In 1977, he was elevated to National Hero of Indonesia, the country's highest honor.[3][4]
