Pattimura’s Figure
“Pattimura”
Pattimura was born Thomas Mattulessi on 8 June 1783 in Saparua
, Maluku, the name Pattimura was his pseudonym. His parents were Frans
Matulessia and Fransina Tilahoi, and he had a little brother named Yohanis.
In 1810, the Maluku islands were taken over from the Dutch colonials by t
he British. Mattulessi received military training from their army and reache
d the rank of sergeant majo.
After the signing of the Anglo-Dutch Treaty on 13 August 1814, i
n 1816 the Maluku islands were returned to the Dutch, Pattimura attended
the ceremony. Afterwards, in violation of the treaty, he and his fellow soldie
rs were discharged to their hometowns. However, Pattimura refused to acce
pt the restoration of Dutch power. He felt that they would stop paying nativ
e Christian teachers, as they had done in 1810, and was concerned that a pr
oposed switch to paper currency would leave the Maluku people unable to
give alms — only coins were considered valid — and thus lead to churches
being unable to help the poor
He was appointed as Kapitan by the people of Saparua to rebel a
gainst the Dutch on 14 May 1817. The assault began on the 15th, with Pat
timura and his lieutenants Said Perintah, Anthony Reebhok, Paulus Tiahah
u and Tiahahu's daughter Martha Christina Tiahahu leading the way. On
16 May 1817, they seized Fort Duurstede and killed the 19 Dutch soldiers
, Resident Johannes Rudolph van den Berg (who had arrived just two mont
hs earlier), his wife, three of his children and their governess. The only Du
tch survivor was Van den Berg's five-year-old son Jean Lubbert. After the s
eizure, Pattimura's forces defended the fort and on May 20 defeated Major
Beetjes, Second Lieutenant E. S. de Haas, and their nearly 200 troops, leavi
ng only 30 survivors.
On 29 May, Pattimura and other Maluku leaders made the Haria
Proclamation, which outlined their grievances against the Dutch governm
ent and declared Pattimura to be the leader of the Maluku people. In resp
onse, Governor-General Van der Cappellen immediately fired the governo
r of Ambon, Jacobus A. van Middelkoop, and his right hand, Nicolaus Eng
elhard, for their abuses of the local people.
On June 1, Pattimura led an unsuccessful attack on Fort
Zeelandia in Haruku. Two months later, on August 3, Fort Duurst
ede was finally retaken by the Dutch, but the revolt had spread an
d was not subdued for another few months.
Due to betrayal from Booi's king, Pati Akoon, and Tuwan
akotta, Pattimura was arrested on 11 November 1817 while he w
as in Siri Sori. He and his fellows were sentenced to death. On 16
December 1817, Pattimura together with Anthony Reebook, Phili
p Latumahina, and Said Parintah were hanged in front of Fort Nie
uw Victoria in Ambon.
