Salahuddin of Aceh

Salahuddin of Aceh

In Indonesian history, Salahuddin was the second sultan of Aceh, reigning from 1530 to 1537 or 1539. He was the eldest son of Ali Mughayat Syah, the first sultan of Aceh. Relative to his father and brother, Alauddin Riayat Syah al-Kahar, who deposed him, he was a weaker ruler. It is unclear whether he was deposed before or after the launch of an unsuccessful attack on Malacca in 1537. Hoesein Djajadiningrat believed that the coup came first and the attack was led by Alauddin al-Kahar, [Hoesein Djajadiningrat, "Critisch overzicht van de in Maleische werken vervatte gegevens over de geschiedenis van het Soeltanaat van Atjeh", "Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde", vol. 65 (1911), pp. 135-265. Cited in Ricklefs, 33] while Denys Lombard places the coup two years after the attack, which he believes was led by Salahuddin himself. [Denys Lombard, "Le Sultanat d'Atjéh au temps d'Iskandar Muda, 1607-1636". Paris: École Française d'Extrême-Orient, 1967. Cited in Ricklefs, 33]
