Perunggit

Tuanku Panglima Perunggit, also titled Kejuruan Padang,[1] was the second ruler (1641–1700) of the Sultanate of Deli (now in North Sumatra, Indonesia).[2][3] He continued the rule of his father Tuanku Panglima Gocah Pahlawan,[4] who was the representative commander (wali negara) of the Aceh Sultanate to rule former area of the conquered Aru Kingdom.[4] His mother's name was Putri Nang Bulan beru Surbakti, a sister of the Sunggal chieftain (Karo: raja urung), Datuk Itam Surbakti, one of the rulers of the Karo people in Deli Tua.[5]

As the Aceh Sultanate's influence was then weakening in various regions of Sumatra, Perunggit took the opportunity to make Deli independent.[3][6] He first gained support from the Dutch East India Company in Malacca, and in 1667 sent envoys directly to its headquarters in Batavia.[6] In 1669, Perunggit announced that Deli was independent from Aceh's realm.[3][6]

Perunggit was married to the sister of the Sukapiring chieftain.[4] After he died, his rule was continued by his son, Tuanku Panglima Paderap.[2][4]
