Hidayatullah II of Banjar

Sultan Hidayatullah II of Banjar, known also as Pangeran Hidayatullah, Sultan Hidayat[1] or simply Hidayat (born in Martapura, South Kalimantan, 1822, died in Cianjur, Jawa Barat, 24 November 1904), was a sultan-pretender of the Sultanate of Banjar and a leader of the Banjarese rebels in the Banjarmasin War.

In 1852 the Sultan's heir-apparent died, and the Dutch replaced him by the illegitimate grandson Tamjied Illah.

In vain, Sultan Adam and many nobles in 1853 sent an embassy to Batavia, pointing out iniquities perpetrated by the Dutch-designated heir and appealing for the Dutch to recognise instead Hidayatullah - a younger but legitimate son.

Unable to find a suitable successor, the Dutch colonial government decided to annex the Sultanate of Banjar in June 1860.

In early 1862, Hidayat surrendered to Dutch commander Verspijck in exchange for permission to settle on the island of Java.
