About Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Syah

Paduka Sri Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Mansur Shah I (Jawi: ; died 1584) was the third sultan of Perak. He was the son of the second sultan of Perak, Mansur Shah I.

Reign When Mansur Shah I died, Perak was under the control of the Aceh Sultanate. On news of his death, the people of Perak went to Aceh to see the sultan, Alauddin Mansur Syah, who was the eldest son of Mansur Shah I. They asked for a prince to be made sultan in Perak. Alauddin Mansur Syah agreed and sent his younger brother Raja Ahmad.

After gaining the throne of the Perak Sultanate, Raja Ahmad took the title Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah and took residence in a place called Jalong. However, because the area was often flooded, he moved to a new location called Geronggong, which is located in Pulau Tiga subdistrict. Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin Shah's son Raja Inu was titled Raja Kecil Lasa.

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 had begun to wane.

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