The Sultan’s Bed Chamber
The
Sultan’s bedchamber was a highly restricted place, reserved for only the Sultan
of Melaka. One could only enter it with the Sultan’s consent. Even the
Permaisuri did not have the freedom to enter the chamber unless allowed by the Sultan.
The main
reason for such restrictions was to emphasize the Sultan’s royal status and to
ensure his safety whole he rested.
The
bedchamber had everything that the Sultan needed. It was the place where the
royal clothes were kept. Decorations and souvenirs of the highest quality,
mostly gifts from other kingdoms and merchants, were also kept there.
