Sidenreng

Sidenreng was a Bugis kingdom in the rice plains west of the lakes of central South Sulawesi. Bugis chronicles date its founding to around 1300.

In the sixteenth century Sidenreng joined the Ajatappareng confederation, whose rulers swore to be one house divided into five parts. It submitted to Gowa and fought as its ally; after Gowa adopted Islam in 1605, Sidenreng was annexed in 1609. Its trade later fell under the Dutch East India Company's monopoly after the Makassar War of 1666 to 1669.
