Amangkurat III of Mataram

Amangkurat III (ruled 1703-1704) was a short-lived ruler of Sultan in Java. His father Amangkurat II of Mataram had been killed, and he soon lost to his uncle Pakubuwono I in the First Javanese War of Succession, which lasted on for five years until the Dutch managed to install Pakubuwana.
