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]
