IN Cirebon, four royal courts survive to this day, remnants of a once-powerful kingdom founded five centuries ago. Of the four, Kanoman has been the most unstable in the modern history of Cirebon. Following the death of the Sultan in 2002, his two sons are embroiled in a bitter struggle for succession to the royal throne. Ahead of the 4th Nusantara Court Festival in Yogyakarta, Tempo''''s AN Anwar visited the Court of Kanoman to record the behind-the-scenes intrigue for the throne.
