Thaha Syaifuddin

Thaha Syaifuddin (Jawi: طه سيف الدین‎, 1816–1904) was the 20th and last Sultan of Jambi.

He ascended the throne in 1855 succeeding his predecessor, Abdul Rahman Nazaruddin, and ruled until he lost the power struggle.

[1] However, he refused to renew treaties imposed on his predecessors by the Dutch, who invaded Jambi in 1858 and imposed a series of sultans[3] who, under Dutch control, reigned over much of the sultanate until 1899.

[2] Thaha, however, continued to claim the sultanate and to rule over its less accessible parts until he was killed by Dutch soldiers in 1904.
