Ratu Kuning
Raja Kuning or Ratu Kuning was the sovereign queen of Patani in the 17th century. Her name means "the Yellow Queen" in English. She succeeded her mother, Queen Raja Ungu. She was the last of four female rulers to have ruled in succession in the Patani Kingdom since 1584. She is the last queen regnant who is acknowledged as legitimate in the Patani chronicles. As Patani became less internationally attractive for traders in the late 17th century, sources about Patani history are scarce in that period. There is dispute over when her rule ended, and who succeeded her. Early life Raja Kuning was the daughter of Raja Ungu and the Sultan of Pahang. After the Sultan of Pahang died, she returned to Patani with her mother. She was said to be named Kuning (meaning "Yellow") because she had whitish-yellow skin. At the age of 12, she married Okphaya Déca, King of Bordelong Phatthalung, for an alliance between Patani kingdom and Ayutthaya kingdom. After Patani had break off relations with Ayu ...

Ayutthaya Kingdom
The Ayutthaya Kingdom (; th, อยุธยา, , IAST: or , ) was a Siamese kingdom that existed in Southeast Asia from 1351 to 1767, centered around the city of Ayutthaya, in Siam, or present-day Thailand. The Ayutthaya Kingdom is considered to be the precursor of modern Thailand and its developments are an important part of the History of Thailand. The Ayutthaya Kingdom emerged from the mandala of city-states on the Lower Chao Phraya Valley in the late fourteenth century during the decline of the Khmer Empire. After a century of territorial expansions, Ayutthaya became centralized and rose as a major power in Southeast Asia. Ayutthaya faced invasions from the Toungoo dynasty of Burma, starting a centuries' old rivalry between the two regional powers, resulting in the First Fall of Ayutthaya in 1569. However, Naresuan ( 1590–1605) freed Ayutthaya from brief Burmese rule and expanded Ayutthaya militarily. By 1600, the kingdom's vassals included some city-states ...

The law describing its use is cited by the orator Lysias: "“He shall have his foot confined in the stocks for five days, if the court shall make such addition to the sentence.” The “stocks” there mentioned, Theomnestus, are what we now call “confinement in the wood”" (''Lys''. 10.16) Form and applications The stocks, pillory, and pranger each consist of large wooden boards with hinges; however, the stocks are distinguished by their restraint of the feet.
