Iskandar Muda
Iskandar Muda (1583? – 27 December 1636) was the twelfth
Sultan of
Acèh Darussalam, under whom the sultanate achieved its greatest territorial extent, holding sway as the strongest power and wealthiest state in the western
Indonesian archipelago and the
Strait of Malacca. "Iskandar Muda" literally means "young Alexander," and his conquests were often compared to those of
Alexander the Great. In addition to his notable conquests, during his reign, Aceh became known as an international centre of
Islamic learning and trade. He was the last
Sultan of Aceh who was a direct lineal
male descendant of
Ali Mughayat Syah, the founder of the
Aceh Sultanate. Iskandar Muda's death meant that the founding dynasty of the Aceh Sultanate, the House of
Meukuta Alam died out and was replaced by another dynasty.
