Brooke family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brooke family is an English family that ruled the Raj of Sarawak, from 1841 until 1 July, 1946, when Charles Vyner Brooke, the third and last "White Rajah" ceded Sarawak to the British Empire due to the lack of resources to finance reconstruction after World War II.
