Mangkunegara X (Javanese: ꦩꦁꦏꦸꦤꦒꦫ꧇꧑꧐꧇; born 29 March 1997), also known as Gusti Bhre, is the 10th Duke of Mangkunegaran who has been in power since 2022, succeeding his father, Mangkunegara IX.[1]
Early life
[edit]Bhre Cakrahutomo Wira Sudjiwo was born on March 29, 1997 and is the youngest son of Duke Mangkunegara IX and Gusti Kangjeng Putri Mangkunegara IX. From his maternal lineage, he is the grandson of General Yogi Supardi who was the 10th Indonesian Ambassador to Japan (1987-1991), Pangdam XVI/Udayana (1972-1974), and Secretary General of the Department of Defense and Security (1983-1987).[2] Before becoming a duke, he was often called by the name "Gusti Bhre".
He completed his undergraduate education at the Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia in 2019.[3] Before being crowned as Pengageng Pura (ruler of the palace), Gusti Bhre had been involved in several Mangkunegaran Dukedom activities, such as being the Cucuk Lampah in the Kirab Pusaka tradition on the night of 1 Sura and the 2019 Mangkunegaran Jazz Festival.

[edit]Pre-coronation dynamics
[edit]The election of Gusti Bhre as Ruler faced twists and turns. As the son of the empress's daughter, he was the prime candidate. However, the tradition of selecting the Mangkunegaran duke did not follow such rules rigidly. The name Gusti Paundrakarna emerged as the eldest son of Mangkunegara IX, although he was not the son of the empress because his mother had divorced Mangkunegara IX before Mangkunegara IX ascended the throne. Apart from GPH Paundrakarna, Kanjeng Roy Rahajasa Yamin also appeared, who was his cousin and the eldest son of the late Mangkunegara IX's older sister.
In addition to the issue of the order of succession, Gusti Bhre was also faced with the issue of his religious beliefs. As the successor to one of the dynasties of the Mataram lineage, the dukes of Mangkunegaran had to be Muslim. Although no one spoke out openly, Gusti Bhre was a follower of the Catholic Church. However, Gusti Bhre is known to have converted from the Catholic Church to Islam as a convert so that he is in accordance with the regulations for inauguration as a duke.[4]
All these issues were then resolved after the circulation of an announcement from representatives of the core relatives signed by two of his father's siblings, Gusti Retno Satuti Suryohadiningrat and Gusti Retno Rosati Notohadiningrat, which in essence approved Gusti Bhre as the successor to the Duke.
Coronation ceremony
[edit]The coronation ceremony of Mangkunegara X was held on Saturday Pahing, March 12, 2022 at the Pendapa Ageng Pura Mangkunegaran. The coronation was carried out by Mangkunegara IX followed by the reading of the oath of allegiance and a welcoming speech by Mangkunegara X. The ceremony was attended by the President of Indonesia Joko Widodo, the three other rulers who were heirs to the Mataram throne (Pakubuwana XIII, Hamengkubuwana X, and Paku Alam X), the Governor of Central Java Ganjar Pranowo, and the Mayor of Surakarta Gibran Rakabuming Raka.
After taking the oath of allegiance, it was continued with a performance of the Bedhaya Anglirmendhung dance, a dance created to commemorate the struggle of Mangkunegara I against the Dutch East India Company (VOC) until the establishment of Mangkunegaran Duchy.[5][6]
