Reign

After the news of the death of his father, Sultan Mansur Shah I, the people of Perak went to the Aceh Sultanate and went to see the Sultan. The Sultan of Aceh at that time was Ahmad Tajuddin's older brother and eldest son of the late Sultan Mansur Shah I whose name was Sultan Alauddin Mansur Shah and the people of Perak asked for a prince to be made sultan in Perak. Sultan Alauddin Mansur Shah then agreed and sent his younger brother named Raja Ahmad to be made sultan in Perak who then used the title Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah. [2]

At that time, Perak was still under the control of Aceh, after gaining the throne of the Perak Sultanate, Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah began to reside in a place called Jalong. However, because the area is often flooded, he moved and resided in a new location called Geronggong, which is located in Pulau Tiga subdistrict. [1] [2]

Death

Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah ruled the Perak for only seven years and died in the year 1584 in Jalong and was given the title Marhum Muda. [1] [3] The Late Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah left behind a son named Raja Inu who was titled Raja Kecil Lasa. About a year after the Sultan of Perak died, his brother, Sultan Alauddin Mansur Shah of Aceh also died. [2]

His mother and his relatives who were taken to Aceh left to return to Perak. Since then, the power of the Aceh Sultanate over Perak began to disappear little by little. [2]

The location of the tomb of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah is located in Kampung Jawa which is close to Kampung Gajah. Near the mausoleum of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah there is also the mausoleum of the 11th Sultan of Perak and the mausoleum of the 12th Sultan of Perak. [2]

Sri Maharaja Sang Sapurba Paduka Sri Trimurti Tri Buana, (1245–1316) also known as Sri Nila Pahlawan, is a figure in the Malay Annals, highly revered as the legendary great ancestor of some of the major dynasties of the Malay world: Singapura, Malacca, Pahang, Johor, Perak, Kelantan, Terengganu and Siak Sri Indrapura. Legend has it that after his accession to Seguntang Hill with his two younger brothers, Sang Sapurba enters into a sacred covenant with Demang Lebar Daun the native ruler of Palembang, which laid the basis of the proper relationship between the Malay rulers and the subjects. The legendary sword believed to be carried by the king, the Cura Si Manjakini, is now formed part of the regalia of Perak Sultanate, whose rulers are said directly descended from the king. The details of Sang Sapurba stories are mainly composed of folklore and legends, and thus his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. Even so, as De Jong argued in her article The Character of Malay Annals, the stories of the Malay Annals could have been realistically mixed with the historical figures and events.
