Paku Alam V

Early life

His younger name was Bendara Raden Mas Noto Wiloyo, a son of Paku Alam II born to his commoner-concubine, Resminingdyah. For unclear reasons, his mother was expelled from the palace and married off to Raden Riya Sosroamijoyo. Not long after marrying the Adipati's ex-concubine, he was installed as bupati patih.

At one point, he angered his father, Paku Alam II. His father banished him to Bugel, a village under Adikarto Regency (present-day merged with Kulon Progo Regency). There, he learned governance under the district leader, Ngabehi Reksodiwiryo and agriculture irrigation under Ngabehi Rekso Prayitno. Some time later, he wanted to visit his family in Pakualaman but doubt anyone would welcomed him.

Surprisingly he was warmly welcomed by his elder half-brother born to his father's primary consort, Bendara Raden Mas Harya Sasraningrat. Although this act angered the elder prince, Kanjeng Pangeran Harya Nataningprang, Sasraningrat defend him from their father and brother anger. And finally, Paku Alam II accepted his return.

Nataningprang who was already prepared as heir apparent died earlier. As a result, after Paku Alam II's died, he was succeeded his younger consort-born son, Sasraningrat, under the name of Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya Surya Sasraningrat (unofficially Paku Alam III). Paku Alam III died six years later, his two consort-born son wasn't eligible to succeed as Suryaningrat had poor eyesight and Sasraningrat was too young at that time. He was succeeded by a son of the late Nataningprang, born to his primary consort who also took the same regnal name of Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Surya Sasraningrat (unofficially Paku Alam IV). Notowiloyo's time came when his nephew, Paku Alam IV, passed away in 1878. He was appointed as the Duke of Pakualaman by the princely title of Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya Prabu Suryadilaga, and later Kanjeng Gusti Pangeran Adipati Arya Paku Alam V.

Personal life

He had two royal consorts. His first wife was still a close relative, a daughter of Raden Ayu Jayeng Irawan, primary consort to Raden Mas Tumenggung Jayeng Irawan, who served as the patih in Pakualaman. She was the mother of Paku Alam VI. His second wife was a daughter of Gusti Pangeran Harya Mangkudiningrat, son of Hamengkubuwono II by his queen consort, Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Hemas. She was the widow of his two brothers, Kanjeng Pangeran Harya Nataningprang and Paku Alam III.

According to an almanac dated 1892, he was recorded had two sons : Kanjeng Pangeran Harya Natakusuma and Kanjeng Pangeran Harya Natadirja. It was stated in the later almanac issued in 1911 that the two sons born to his primary consort.
