アチェ王国
In Aceh Sultanate, Iskandar Muda (1583–1636) established a new nobility of warlords called "uleëbalang", whom he gave districts (mukim) in feudal tenure. After his reign, however, the elite often supported weaker sultans, in order to maintain their own autonomy. In Brunei Sultanate, the rank of "Manteri Hulubalang" (officials of defence) refers to lower ranking non-noble traditional officials.
