Roro Mendut

The young and beautiful Roro Mendut, one of the assets of the Pati region, is brought to Mataram. In his joyous moment, Sultan Agung rewards Tumenggung Wiroguno, with the war loot, for his success in controlling the region’s revolt in the north Java ocean in the 17th century. Wiroguno cannot fully enjoy all the gifts as Roro Mendut declines to be taken as a concubine. Wiroguno is devastated and his pride crushed. For the sake of his dignity and pride, he punishes Roro Mendut with a heavy tax. However, Roro Mendut always manages to pay her tax.
