Default Why is there a Bugis Bima keris

The relationship between the kingdom of Gowa and the kingdom of Bima and its surroundings is very close, according to the book of Islamic Religious Courts in the Sultanate of Bima (1947-1957) written by Prof. Dr. Abdul Gani Abdullah. It was explained that there had been a relationship between Bugis Makassar and Bima since the time of the maritime period (1565 - 1575). Bima was conquered by the expedition of Sultan Alauddin Sombaya Ri Gowa in 1619, then followed by the Karaeng Ribura'ne expedition (a kind of army commander and minister of arms and war affairs), to defuse the rebellion against Bima. According to Bo's script on April 26, 1618 Daeng Mangali of Bugis and his three colleagues from Luwu, Tallo, and Bone, became emissaries of King Gowa, to teach Islam to the king and the people of Bima.
Since then, the Gowa-Bima relationship is no longer perceived as a political relationship, but also a trade relationship and mawin marriage. In statistics in the 1930s the Bima and Bugis Makassar tribes were entered in one column. Who is the Milky Way Makassar Bugis was not separated in statistics at that time. Makassar Bugis become one with the Bima people. One of the ingredients of the Makassar Bugis trade is KERIS and FABRIC woven from Bugis.
Married to the royal family and the aristocracy of the two parties closely intertwined, Sultan Abdul Kahir (Sultan Bima I) married to Daeng Sikontu Putri Karaeng Kasuarang (Sultan Alauddin's sister-in-law). Many Bima people converted to Islam and studied in the kingdom of Gowa. Batara Gowa II, namely Amas Madinah (son of Kumala Bumi Pertiga and Abdul Kudus Putra Sultan Gowa) had also been enthroned in Gowa.
Political, social, cultural and kinship relations last for more than 200 years. Bima escaped from Gowa's rule, since 1666. In the Bungaya agreement Article 14 said 'the Kingdom of Gowa had to surrender Bima and its conquered territories to the Company, as a war fine for the control of Goa on the VOC and Bone. After that the Bima and Bugis Makassar relationship was controlled by the Kingdom of Bone, because it won the war against Goa.
