Karaeng Galesong

I Maninrori Kare Tojeng, also known as Karaeng Galesong,[a] was a Makassarese nobleman and warrior, and a major leader of the Trunajaya rebellion in Java against the Mataram Sultanate. He participated in the successful invasion of East Java and the subsequent rebel victory at Battle of Gegodog (1676).[2] He later broke out with Trunajaya, and built a stronghold in Kakaper, East Java.[3] Dutch East India Company (VOC) and Bugis forces took Kakaper in October 1679, but Galesong escaped and rejoined Trunajaya.[4] He died on 21 November 1679, either by illness or murdered by Trunajaya, before the rebellion ended.[4]
