Manado Kingdom is a kingdom that once ruled city of Manado and the surrounding areas in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. This kingdom is a continuation of the Bowontehu Kingdom which existed from 1500 to 1670. In the memory of the governor of the VOC in the Maluku Islands, Robertus Padtbrugge, the territory of the Manado Kingdom included the islands of Siladen, Bunaken, Mantehage, Nain, Talise, Gangga, Bangka, Lembe, and the coastal areas of northern Sulawesi.[2]
Together with King Posuma of the Kingdom of Siau, the King of Manado, Kinalang Damopolii, was baptized as a Catholic in a large river in city of Manado along with 1,500 of his people.[1]
List of rulers
[edit]The kings who ruled the Manado Kingdom included Don Fernando in 1644, and Loloda Mokoagouw (1644–1670) as the last king. The Kingdom of Manado once played an important role in trade in the Minahasa Peninsula. In the 15th to 16th centuries, the Portuguese and Spanish empires used the Manado Kingdom as a warehouse for storing goods they brought or purchased from the native people.[2]
