Upon reaching adulthood, he was styled Prince Mangkubumi. He was made lieutenant colonel in 1839 and colonel in 1847 by Dutch East Indies government.
Reign
Hamengkubuwono V made his realm closer with Dutch colonial government. He intended for a bloodless struggle, hoping that there would be a mutual cooperation between Yogyakarta Sultanate and Dutch government, leading to the rise of prosperity and security of Yogyakarta people.[2] He also focused on art. During his reign, wayang wong performances had been held five times.[3] He also created some royal dances, the most popular was Serimpi dance and its variants.
However, his policy was opposed by some court's servants and his own brother, GRM Mustojo. They viewed Hamengkubuwono V's policy as cowardly, bringing shame to
Hamengkubuwono V died in a lesser-known incident, known as wereng saketi tresno (meaning "died by the beloved one"). Hamengkubuwono V died after being stabbed by his fifth wife, Kanjeng Mas Hemawati. Her motive is unknown.[4]
When the incident took place, his queen consort, Kanjeng Ratu Sekar Kedaton, was pregnant, and gave birth to a son 13 days later. The son was named Timur Muhammad.
Hamengkubuwono V was succeeded by his brother, GRM Mustojo, styled as Hamengkubuwono VI.
Personal life
He married Raden Ajeng Suradinah[citation needed], daughter of Prince Purwanegara and Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Anom. Her mother was Hamengkubuwono II's daughter. She was his first queen consort styled as Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kencana or Her Royal Highness Queen Kencana. The couple divorced, after this, Queen Kencana was known as Queen Sasi.
His second queen consort was Queen Sekar Kedhaton, born as Raden Ajeng Andaliyah[citation needed], daughter of Prince Hadinegara or also known as Prince Suryaning-Ngalaga, a son of Hamengkubuwono III by his concubine. She gave birth to Gusti Raden Mas Timur Muhammad, the future Prince Suryaning-Ngalaga. Timur Muhammad was the rightful successor of his father seeing that he was the only child born from Queen Sekar Kedhaton, but his uncle Hamengkubuwono VI took the throne for himself after the death of Hamengkubuwono V.
His most famous concubine was Kanjeng Mas Hemawati who killed him. She might have been born as a commoner, as her names use the word "Mas" instead of "Raden".
