Years: 1510 - 1510
Sultan Mahmud Shah, the younger brother of Sultan Alauddin Riayat Shah, rules the Sultanate of Malacca from 1488.
Upon his father's premature death, he had been installed at a very young age.
The regent at that time was the prime minister (Bendahara in Malay) Tun Perak.
During his initial years as a young adult, the sultan was known to be a ruthless monarch.
The administration of the sultanate was in the hands of an able and wise Tun Perak.
After the death of Tun Perak in 1498, he was succeeded by a new Prime Minister Tun Mutahir.
The death of Tun Perak is associated with the transformation of Sultan Mahmud into a more responsible ruler.
During Portuguese admiral Diogo Lopes de Sequeira's visit to Malacca from 1509–1510, the sultan had plannned to assassinate him.
However, Sequeira had learned of this plot and fled Malacca.
When the famous Portuguese naval officer Afonso de Albuquerque receives word of this, he decides to utilize this to embark upon his expeditions of conquest in Asia.
