The cool, mountainous regency of Bangli was
long fought over by rulers from neighboring kingdoms, for here lies lake Batur, the major
source of irrigation water for most of South and East Bali and part of the north.
The ruling house emerged during the early years of the Klungkung kingdom during the 1700s
to which it is related.
In the mid 1800s Bangli sought Dutch protection from Klungkung, Karangasem, and Buleleng,
but by the end of the 19th century it was joining its former enemies against powertul
Mengwi to the west.
