This book has benefited from the help of many people from the kingdoms covered in it. I would like to thank members of the royal
families of Sumatra with whom we have had the privilege and pleasure to meet and who endured our sometimes numerous photo
sessions. Several have stood out for their generosity and patience. In the order in which their kingdoms appear in this volume:
