The Blood of Resistance
The ordination of Pangeran Purbaya or Hasan Jamil as crown prince was made formal in an oath-taking ceremony led by grand mufti Syeh Yusuf Al Makassari.
The Sultanate of Banten as a sovereign state ended when Sultan Agung Tirtayasa lost a war on 14 March, 1683 with the VOC, which had been granted the octrooi (patent) rights by the Dutch government.
The octrooi rights gave the VOC quasi-government authority. The sultan was imprisoned in Batavia for nine years until his death. The defeat of Banten was blamed on the betrayal of Pangeran (Prince) Gusti or Abdul Kohar, the sultan's eldest son who turned into an enemy accomplice.
