Publisher: CV. Cendrawasih, Surakarta The booklet entitled “The Sons and Daughters Directly Related to the Susuhunan of Surakarta” constitutes a genealogical record that meticulously enumerates the royal descendants from Susuhunan Pakubuwono II through Susuhunan Pakubuwono XII, together with their offspring. The principal objective of this compilation is the preservation of dynastic continuity and the reinforcement of familial cohesion within the royal lineage.
This booklet serves as an archival instrument designed to document the ancestral succession of the Keraton Kartasura (Mataram), subsequently transferred to the Keraton Surakarta Hadiningrat. It delineates the hereditary titles conferred upon members of the royal household, particularly those installed as princes or those who entered into matrimonial alliances with princesses of the court. In doing so, the text not only safeguards the historical memory of the Surakarta dynasty but also underscores the sociopolitical significance of lineage, marriage, and title within the broader framework of Javanese monarchical tradition.
