The Djajadiningrat family was a high-ranking ''priyayi'' family in colonial Indonesia, whose members often served as ''Bupati'' or ''Regencies of Indonesia, Regents'' (district heads) of Serang in Banten, Dutch East Indies.

History The family is of Baduy people, Baduy and Bantenese people, Bantenese extraction. According to Nina Consuelo Epton, the family's oral history recounts that in the middle of the seventeenth century, their ancestor Astapati ('deadhand'), the one-handed renegade son of a Baduy chieftain, sought shelter at the court of the Sultan of Banten.

Council Of The Indies (Dutch)
The Council of the Indies ( nl, Raad van Indië; id, Dewan Hindia) was a body established in 1610 to advise and limit the powers of the governor-general of the Dutch East Indies. Initially the council had four members and a chairman, all Dutch nationals. In 1930, this was increased to six people, with citizens of the Dutch East Indies eligible for membership. The council was chaired by the governor-general. The Dutch monarch had the authority to make a final decision in the event of a disagreement between the governor-general and the council.

Its powers were reduced again in 1925, but the governor-general still had to consult it before taking certain act ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
