Abstract :
Amangkurat 1 is situated in Tegal Regency, specifically in the village of Pesarean,
Tegal Arum, known for its fragrant land which distinguishes the Tomb of
Amangkurat 1. Amangkurat 1 is the burial site and pilgrimage place of Raden Mas
Sayidin, the fourth king of Mataram. Regrettably, many residents of Tegal Regency
are unaware of who Amangkurat 1 was and why he was buried in Pesarean village.
Due to limited historical education resources about Amangkurat 1, he remains
relatively unknown to the public. Therefore, the author has taken the initiative to
develop an educational medium in the form of an illustrated book, formatted for
print, to serve as an informative tool regarding the history of the Tomb of
Amangkurat 1 in Tegal Regency. Based on these considerations, an illustrated book
is deemed suitable for conveying information about Amangkurat 1 to elementary
school students in Tegal Regency. The concept of designing an illustrated book aims
to provide an engaging reading experience for the audience, ensuring that young
learners do not find studying history tedious. Through this illustrated book, it is
hoped that the people of Tegal Regency will gain a better understanding of and
appreciation for the historical narrative of their village. The outcome of this
endeavor will be the Illustrated Print Book detailing the Origin of the Tomb of
Amangkurat 1, which will be distributed through the Department of Education and
Culture.
