Hidayatullah II of Banjar

Sultan Hidayatullah II of Banjar, known also as Pangeran Hidayatullah, Sultan Hidayat or simply Hidayat (born in Martapura, South Kalimantan, 1822, died in Cianjur, Jawa Barat, 24 November 1904), was a sultan-pretender of the Sultanate of Banjar and a leader of the Banjarese rebels in the Banjarmasin War.

Personal life

Pangeran Hidayatullah was born in 1822 in Martapura. His father was Sultan Muda Abdurrahman son of Sultan Adam Al-Watsiq Billah, and his mother was Ratu Siti binti Pangeran Mangku Bumi Nata bin Sultan Sulaiman.

In 1852 the Sultan's heir-apparent died, and the Dutch replaced him by the illegitimate grandson Tamjied Illah.
In vain, Sultan Adam and many nobles in 1853 sent an embassy to Batavia, pointing out iniquities perpetrated by the Dutch-designated heir and appealing for the Dutch to recognise instead Hidayatullah - a younger but legitimate son.
Sultan Adam died in 1857 and was succeeded by Tamjied Illah. There ensued a struggle for power between Tamjied Illah and Hidayatullah, which divided the population, much of which stood behind Hidayatullah and highly resented the Dutch sponsoring of Tamjied Illah.{{Cite book, last=de., first=Haes, R.L., url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/906461472, title=Eenige opmerkingen over het werk getiteld: "De Bandjermasinsche krijg van 1859 tot 1863" : bijdrage hoe de majoor W.A. van Rees de krijgsgeschiedenis schrijft, date=1866, publisher=Noothoven van Goor, oclc=906461472 In early 1859, a revolt against Tamjied's rule broke out and the Royal Netherlands East Indies Army intervened on his behalf, but in June 1859 Tamjied stepped down. Unable to find a suitable successor, the Dutch colonial government decided to annex the Sultanate of Banjar in June 1860. In early 1862, Hidayat surrendered to Dutch commander Verspijck in exchange for permission to settle on the island of Java. The last rebels surrendered in 1863.

Hidayat died in Cianjur, Jawa Barat, 24 November 1904.
