[Talk] New Research into the History of the Sultanate of Patani (16th‒17th c. CE)

Readers in Taipei may be interested in this talk by Daniel Perret on 30 May about the kingdom of Patani.

The history of the kingdom of Patani, on the east coast of the Thai peninsula along the South China Sea, has attracted scholarly interest for nearly two centuries, mostly due to the important economic role played by this kingdom in Asian trade during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Combining fieldwork, study of Portuguese, Dutch, and local sources, including recently discovered Portuguese archival material, this talk will discuss issues relating to the foundation of the sultanate, the organisation of its capital at the beginning of the 17th century, its Muslim tombstones, the reigns of the four queens between late 16th and mid-17th century, and finally its participation in the high seas Asian trade at the time
