Hamengkubuwono II (also spelled Hamengkubuwana II, 7 March 1750 – 3 January 1828), born Raden Mas Sundoro,[1] was the second sultan of Yogyakarta 1792–1810,[2] 1811–12[3] and finally 1826–28 during the Java War.

After Daendels pressured him, in December 1810, he was forced to abdicate in favour of his son, Raden Mas Surojo[1] who was made the new sultan, under the name Hamengkubuwono III.

However, due to his aggressive behaviour towards the English,[1] six months later in June 1812, he was deposed and exiled to Penang.

[1] In 1826, the Dutch decided to return him from exile and restored him as the sultan.

He was succeeded by his great-grandson, Hamengkubuwono V. He was buried in Kotagede[1] instead of the royal graveyard of Imogiri, due to the turbulence at the time.
