Raja Pagaruyung: Perbedaan antara revisi

 

=== Kesultanan ===

Selepas masuknya [[agama Islam]] ke pedalaman Minangkabau, para Raja Alam mulai mengambil gelar Yang Dipertuan Sakti atau [[Yang Dipertuan Pagaruyung]]. Catatan sejarah pertama tentang perubahan gelar ini adalah surat [[Jacob Pits]], seorang pegawai [[Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie|Kongsi Dagang Hindia Timur]] kepada "[[Ahmadsyah dari Pagaruyung|Sultan Ahmadsyah, Iskandar Zur-Karnain, Penguasa Minangkabau yang kaya akan emas]]" bertanggal 9 Oktober 1668. Catatan lanjutan Belanda memperkirakan bahwa Ahmadsyah memerintah sampai kematiannya pada tahun 1674.{{sfn|Dobbin}}

 

{{quote|"Their government, in the abstract, however insignificant in itself, is there [in distant parts] an object of veneration. Indeed to such an unaccountable excess is this carried, that every relative of the sacred family, and many who have no pretensions to it assume that character, are treated wherever they appear, not only with the most profound respect by the chiefs who go out to meet them, fire salutes on their entering the dusuns, and allow them to level contributions for their maintenance; but by the country people with such a degree of superstitious awe, that they submit to be insulted, plundered, and even wounded by them, without making resistance, which they would esteem a

dangerous profanation. Their appropriate title ... is Yang de per-tuan, literally signifying Tie who ruleth."|[[William Marsden]], ''History of Sumatra'', 1783.{{sfn|Marsden-Sumatra|p=206}}}}
