Global InformationSegati Kingdom information
The Segati Kingdom (Indonesian: Kerajaan Segati) was established some time in the 15th Century by Tuk Jayo Sati.[1] It consisted of small villages 15 km south of present-day Langgam, which is on the Sungai Kampar (Kampar River). It is in Riau, an Indonesian province on the central eastern coast of Sumatra, facing the Strait of Malacca. The centre of the Kingdom was called Ranah Tanjung Bungo.[1] When Tuk Jayo Tunggal took over from his father he moved the central Kingdom to Ranah Gunung Setawur, downstream of Segati river.[2] The Kingdom gained considerable wealth in the spice trade, particularly pepper and chili. Segati is derived from the word for pepper, sekati lada. It is known that eight kings have ruled over Segati, but their exact dates are not known. It is estimated that the Kingdom ended in the 16th Century.[3]
