Ali Mughayat Syah

Sultan of Aceh (c. 1514–1530)

Ali Mughayat Syah

Ali Mughayat Syah (died 7 August 1530) was the founder and first Sultan of Aceh Darussalam in Northern Sumatra, reigning from about 1514 until his death. His reign not only saw the foundation of the Aceh Sultanate, but also the conquest of neighboring Daya (1520), Pidie (1521), and Pasai (1524). Despite his accomplishments, Ali Mughayat's life is poorly documented and must be pieced together from various Acehnese, Malay and European accounts.
