Pakubuwana, having fallen ill in the middle…
1749 CE
He now asks Hohendorff to assume control over the kingdom.
Hohendorff is naturally surprised and refuses, thinking that he would be made king of Mataram, but when the king insists on it, he asks his sick friend to confirm it in writing.
On December 11, 1749, Pakubuwana II signs an agreement in which the "sovereignty" of Mataram is given to VOC.
Four days later, Hohendorff announces the accession of Pakubuwana II’s son as the new king of Mataram with the title Pakubuwana III.
However, three days earlier, Mangkubumi in his stronghold in Yogyakarta had also announced his accession with the title Mangkubumi, with Mas Said as his patih.
