LEGEND

Ki Ageng Mangir is a folk tale originating from the Special Region of Yogyakarta. It is said
that Ki Ageng Mangir was a ruler in the land of Mangir (one of the areas in Bantul). He is
known as handsome, dashing, brave, and powerful. Ki Ageng Mangir is also known as a
person who has a powerful weapon in the form of a spear, known as Baru Klinthing.
According to the story, Baru Klinthing's spear came from the tongue of a giant dragon named
Baru Klinthing. However, Ki Ageng Mangir has bad qualities, namely selfishness and
arrogance. He did not want to submit to Mataram. He considered that the land of Mangir was
a fiefdom land, meaning free and independent, not having to submit and obey Mataram.
Panembahan Senopati as king of Mataram had several times sent envoys to Mangir to
persuade Ki Ageng Mangir to come to Mataram. However, Ki Ageng Mangir remained in his
position, not wanting to face and submit to Mataram. He challenged to war.

TABOO

PROHIBITION OF PALBAPANGAN CROSSING FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ILL

AND MARRIED

The history of the village of Palbapang cannot be separated from the character of Ki Ageng
Mangir during his journey to Mataram, and the story of this journey which became the
beginning of the founding of the city of Bantul. This story begins with Ki Ageng Mangir's
journey to Mataram by walking from Mangir to the east (perhaps now Jalan Srandakan).
Arriving at a village Ki Ageng Mangir stopped for a moment because the new magic spear
seemed to be whispering something which he suggested to cancel his trip and if he would
continue, then his life in Pal (it is certain that he will fly). From that incident, the village was
then called Palbapang derived from the word pal or clench. There is a unique belief in some
Bantul people until now, for example for people in Bantul, if you want to go to the hospital or
want to take your bride, you are advised not to go through the Palbapang intersection. Those
who believe in the tradition argue that if you pass through Palbapang, you will have bad luck
or bad luck.
