Pakubuwono V

Pakubuwono V (also transliterated Pakubuwana V) (13 December 1784 – 5 September 1823) was the fourth Susuhunan (ruler of Surakarta). He reigned from 1820 to 1823.

He was born during the reign of his grandfather, Pakubuwana III, as the only son of Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Anom Hamengkunegara (the future Pakubuwana IV), born to his primary as well as favorite wife. His mother, Raden Ayu Adipati Anom (née Raden Ajeng Handaya), was the eldest daughter of Raden Adipati Cakradiningrat I of Pamekasan. However, she died when he was an infant.^[1] His father, in such a grievance, made a special request to bury her in the porch of the Kasunanan Surakarta Mosque in Laweyan. It broke the customs since the reign of Sultan Agung, the Mataram monarchs and their immediate family descendants would be buried in Astana Pajimatan Imogiri.

In 1888, the Adipati Anom ascended the throne as Pakubuwana IV. Later, in a sororate marriage, his father married his younger aunt, Raden Ajeng Sakaptinah, installed her as queen consort, titled Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kencana Wungu (later as queen dowager titled Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Hageng). According to Kanjeng Raden Tumenggung Koesrahadi S. Jayaningrat's record, before the age of eight, on August 13, 1892, he was appointed as the heir-apparent by the title Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Anom Sudibya Rajaputra Narendra Mataram ingkang kaping III ing Surakarta Hadiningrat, and -Hamengkunegara was granted on July 11, 1796. Thus, his full title was Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Anom Hamengkunegara Sudibya Rajaputra Narendra Mataram ingkang kaping III ing Surakarta Hadiningrat.

He was crowned in October 1820 as Pakubuwana V and elevated his mother, the late Kanjeng Raden Ayu Adipati Anom Hamengkunegara, as queen consort, styled as Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Pakubuwana.

People called him Sunan Sugih because he wasn't only rich in possessions but also rich in heart. The appellation came after the death of his stepmother, Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kencana Wungu, in January 1821. She was regarded as wealthy. After her death, her inheritance would be divided among two of her surviving children: Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Pembayun and Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Harya Purbaya. The Sunan issued a decree, delivered by his stepbrother, Bendara Kanjeng Pangeran Harya Hangabehi, who was in charge, to Ratu Pembayun and Prince Purbaya, asking for their written agreement regarding his inheritance, as Ratu Kencana was the younger sister of Ratu Pakubuwana, which they agreed. Unexpectedly, he didn't take a penny; instead, he paid all the expenses for her deceased ceremony, as well as her debts and liabilities during her lifetime. Everyone speechless.

His father arranged for him to marry a daughter of Raden Mas Harya Jayadiningrat, son of Kanjeng Raden Adipati Jayadiningrat, the Patih Dalem (r. 1784 –1796). As his crown princess consort, she was officially titled Kanjeng Raden Ayu Adipati Anom Hamengkunegara and then Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Hemas after his ascension. She died on March 29, 1821. Her only child was Gusti Raden Ajeng Kabibah, styled as Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Sekar Kedhaton upon reaching adulthood and married to Mangkunegara III. Not long after her death, he married Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kencana. Her parents were Raden Mas Tumenggung Harya Kusumadiningrat, grandson of Amangkurat IV, and Bendara Raden Ayu Kusumadiningrat (née Bendara Raden Ajeng Sentul), daughter of Pakubuwana III. She gave birth to the potential heir, Gusti Raden Mas Sakatah, who, unfortunately, died young.

One of his concubines was Raden Ayu Sasrakusuma, a daughter of Raden Tumenggung Cakradipura II by his primary wife, Raden Ayu Cakradipura, daughter of Kanjeng Raden Adipati Sasradiningrat II, the Patih Dalem (r. 1812 – 1846). She was the mother of his heir, Pakubuwana VI.
