Bila (Sultanate)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bila was a small sultanate in the northeast of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia . It was dissolved in 1946 and integrated into the newly proclaimed Republic of Indonesia.

Emergence

It originated in 1630 when the Sultanate of Pinang Awan (also Pinangawan) was divided into three successor states under two brothers and a nephew of the Raja Halib of Pinang Awan: Bila, Sungai Taras and Kota Pinang . In Pinangawan, Batara Si Nomba, who ruled there from around 1580 to 1610, was first followed by his son Halib (around 1610–1630) on the throne. After his death, the younger sons of Batara Si Nombas, Tohir Indra Alam I and Segar Alam (Suman), and Tohir Indra Alam's son Awam shared the inheritance. Tohir Indra Alam was Raja in Bila from about 1630 to 1650, Segar Alam in Sungai Taras from about 1630 to 1660, and Awan, later known as al-Marhum Mangkat di Tasik, was Raja of Kota Pinang from 1630 to 1680.
