Paku Alam I, originally known as Natakusuma, was the first Duke (Adipati) of Pakualaman, rewarded for helping the British quell conflict in Yogyakarta in June 1812. Pakualaman became a small hereditary Duchy within the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, as a mirror-image of the Duchy of Mangkunegaran within the territory of the Susuhunanate of Surakarta. Paku Alam I ruled from 1812 to 1829, and was buried at Kota Gede.
