SILSILAH -Genealogy
THE RIAU LINGGA DYNASTY
The Vice-Regal or Yam Tuan Muda
Riau Lingga Dynasty
The Vice-Regal house of Riau descended from the rulers of Luwu, in the Celebes. Leaders of the powerful Bugis maritime and military community, they came into prominence during the rise to power of Sultan 'Abdu'l-Jalil Rahmat Shah. He is better known to history as Raja Kechil, the putative posthumous child of last Malacca Sultan of Johor, Sultan Mahmud II. Allying themselves with Kechil's rivals, the Bugis princes succeeded in driving him to Siak and restoring the Bendahara dynasty (see Malaysia-Johor and Indonesia-Lingga). At the conclusion of hostilities in 1722, several marriage alliances were forged between the two families. The settlement of the debt of honour included a joint system of government between the Bugis immigrants and the indigenous Malays. The Bugis leaders received the titles of Yang di-Pertuan Muda (deputy ruler or Viceroy) and Raja Tua (principal prince), enjoying the second and third highest offices in the realm. Although the latter title and office fell into disuse, the Viceroyalty prevailed until the merging of sovereignty of the two Royal dynasties in 1899.
Other branches of the family established themselves in Mampawa and Sambas in Borneo, the Bugis settlements in Cambodia, and the sultanate of Selangor in Malaysia. They also made several prominent marriage alliances in some of the other sultanates of Malaya and Sumatra.
