Keraton Banjar

The Portuguese policy of intervention and supporting Sultan Dipati Anom's overthrow was eventually successful with Suria Angsa becoming Sultan and the Portuguese obtaining commercial privileges. These commercial privileges did not amount to a monopoly but sufficiently upset the VOC, which was already displeased with Banjarmasin's interminable political unrest, that the Company ceased to trade at Banjarmasin in 1681; the VOC was convinced that it could secure additional pepper stocks from increased production at Palembang and Bantam.
