Raja Chulan ibni Raja Hamid

Raja Chulan, son of Raja Abdul Hamid and grandson of a Yang di-Pertuan Muda of Perak, belonged to the royal family of that sultanate; he was the cousin of Sultan Iskandar Dzulkarnain, who reigned from 1752 to 1765. A poet and court historian, he lived in the sovereign's entourage and witnessed the ceremonies, the successions and the relations with the Dutch East India Company. Neither the date of his birth nor that of his death is known. He should not be confused with his twentieth-century namesake, also a prince of Perak.
