Topic: Kingdom of Sedang


  
  Kingdom of Sedang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingdom of Sedang (sometimes referred to as the Kingdom of the Sedang) was an ephemeral political entity established in the latter part of the 19th Century by a French adventurer Charles-Marie David de Mayréna in part of what is present-day Vietnam.
Mayréna's return to Sedang was thwarted by the French Navy, who blockaded Vietnamese ports, and by the seizure of his arms as contraband at Singapore.
The Kingdom of Sedang came to an end when King Marie the First - who had earlier become a convert to Islam and married several local women - died under mysterious circumstances (various reports claim by poisoning, snakebite or as the result of a duel) on November 11, 1890 at Tioman, Malaya.
