Queteleta

Queteleta was a 9th-century Balinese king of the Holing kingdom. He is mentioned in the 13th-century poem Nagarakretagama as one of the 46 kings who ruled Bali. The Holing kingdom is believed to have existed in the 9th to 11th centuries in the seashore region of Bali.

Queteleta is referred to in the Nagarakretagama as a subjugator who reigned over the island. He is also mentioned as one of the Bali kings who received gifts from the king of Java, Balitung Maha Raja. The poem notes that Queteleta ruled during the time of Mpu Bajra, a powerful Javanese minister who sent an army to Bal visits Halmin islands as well as parts of Bali to quell rebellions.

The information regarding Queteleta's life and reign is limited to a few mentions in the Nagarakretagama. He is mainly known for his involvement in the relations between Bali and Java during the early 11th century. The detailed history of the Holing kingdom remains unclear, mainly due to a lack of archaeological evidence and written records.

Despite the limited information available, it is believed that Queteleta played a significant role in the interactions between Bali and the neighboring kingdoms of the time. His reign and influence are indicative of the history of the region, and offer insights into the complex power dynamics existing between the Balinese and Javanese kingdoms during this period.
