Gusti Raden Mas Sujadi. Crowned the Sultan of Yogyakarta on February 8, 1921. During the Hamengkubuwono VIII period, the Sultanate of Yogyakarta had a lot of funds which were used for various activities including financing the schools of the empire. The sons of Hamengkubuwono VIII were educated to many universities, many of them in the Netherlands. One of them is GRM Dorojatun, who later reigned with the title Hamengkubuwono IX, who attended Leiden University. He was also one of the first people from the top political circles in Yogyakarta to support the struggle of Kh. Ahmad Dahlan in the formation of Muhammadiyah as a form of loyalty to Islam. He died on October 22, 1939 on a train in the Wates area, Kulon Progo on his way home from Jakarta to pick up Dorojatun GRM from the Netherlands. GRM Dorojatun was suddenly called home who had not had time to finish school. In Batavia, the Sultan handed the kyai Ageng Joko Piturun's kris to the Dorojatun GRM as a sign of royal succession, as well as a sign that the Dorojatun GRM would later succeed as the Sultan. video narration quoted from: https://www.kratonjogja.id/raja-raja/...
