The Rebellion That Shook Java
The Trunajaya Rebellion (1674–1680) was one of the most significant uprisings in Javanese history. It pitted the forces of Trunajaya — a prince from Madura — against the Mataram Sultanate and its Dutch allies, the VOC .
What made this rebellion remarkable was its multi-ethnic character: Trunajaya’s army included Madurese, Javanese, Makassarese (fleeing the defeat of Gowa), and Chinese mercenaries.
Historical Context
The roots of the rebellion lay in the decline of the Mataram Sultanate under Sultan Amangkurat I (1646–1677). Amangkurat I’s rule was characterized by:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Brutal Purges | He executed thousands of Islamic clerics and nobles |
| Economic Decline | The sultanate’s treasury was depleted |
| Alienation of Periphery | Coastal regions like Madura and Surabaya felt neglected |
Trunajaya, the grandson of the Madurese prince Cakraningrat, saw an opportunity to challenge Mataram’s dominance.
The Course of the War
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 1674 | Trunajaya’s forces began raiding Mataram cities in eastern Java |
| 1676 | A 9,000-strong rebel army invaded Java from Madura |
| 1676 | Rebels captured Surabaya, the key port of eastern Java |
| January 1677 | Mataram’s army sent to crush the rebellion was defeated at the Battle of Gegodog |
| May 1677 | The VOC launched an attack on Surabaya, driving the rebels inland |
| August 1678 | The VOC-Mataram coalition launched a major offensive toward Kediri |
| 25 November 1678 | The Battle of Kediri — the rebels were decisively defeated |
The Battle of Surabaya (May 1677)
The VOC, alarmed by the rebellion’s success, intervened to protect its commercial interests. A Dutch force of 1,500 troops defeated Trunajaya’s forces at Surabaya (4–13 May 1677), forcing the rebels to retreat inland to Kediri.
The Battle of Kediri (25 November 1678)
The decisive battle of the war occurred at Kediri, Trunajaya’s stronghold. A combined VOC-Mataram force:
| Commander | Force |
|---|---|
| Anthonio Hurdt (VOC) | Dutch soldiers, European mercenaries |
| Amangkurat II | Mataram’s royal army |
| Total | Several thousand troops |
The rebels fought fiercely but were overwhelmed. Trunajaya himself was captured and executed.
The Aftermath
| Impact | Description |
|---|---|
| Mataram’s Weakness | The sultanate was severely weakened, heavily indebted to the VOC |
| Dutch Leverage | The VOC used its “victory” to extract concessions from Mataram |
| Makassarese Diaspora | Gowa’s defeated warriors, now dispersed across Java, continued to be a source of instability |
| Japanese-in-Exile | Some Makassarese troops under Trunajaya were later exiled to Ceylon (Sri Lanka) |
The Makassarese Connection
Many of Trunajaya’s troops were Makassarese warriors who had fled Sulawesi after the makassar-war (1666-1669). The VOC’s earlier conquest of Gowa had created a pool of battle-hardened, displaced soldiers — and they found a new leader in Trunajaya.
