Shima (queen)

Ratu Maharani Shima was the queen regnant of the 7th century Kalingga kingdom on the northern coast of Central Java circa 674 CE.

[1] She introduced a law against thievery to encourage her people to be honest and uphold truth.

The bag was left undisturbed for three years, until Shima's son, the crown prince, accidentally stepped on it.

The queen ordered his execution; after a minister appealed to her on the prince's behalf, she reduced the sentence to mutilation of the foot which had touched the bag.
