Sultan Mukaddam Shah

Paduka Sri Sultan Mukaddam Shah (Jawi: ; died 1619) was the sixth Sultan of Perak. He is the son of the sister of Sultan Ahmad Tajuddin and Sultan Tajul Ariffin Shah, and was the cousin of Raja Kecil Lasa Raja Inu. Before becoming Sultan, he was known as Raja Tua.

Mukaddam Shah resided in an area known today as Bota Kanan.

According to one legend, one of Mukaddam Shah's daughters, Putri Limau Purut, was comely in appearance. The princess was betrothed to her second cousin, Raja Mansur, younger brother of Alauddin Shah. Because of this, the proposal of Iskandar Muda of Aceh to marry Putri Limau Purut was rejected by Mukaddam Shah. Consequently, the Iskandar Muda ordered his army to invade Perak and when the Acehnese defeated Perak, Mukaddam Shah, his wife, Putri Limau Purut, and his entourage were captured. They were taken to Aceh, and Mukaddam Shah later died in Aceh and was given the posthumous title Marhum di Aceh. In that time, a Bendahara of Perak named Megat Abdullah had conducted a rescue operation. Thanks to him, Putri Limau Purut was brought back to Perak and married Raja Mansur.

There is also a story that states that Raja Mansur was captured and taken to Aceh together with the relatives of Mukaddam Shah. However, Raja Mansur was able to escape and fled to the Johor. In Johor, he married a Jambi princess, and in 1619 he returned to Perak to marry Putri Limau Purut and ascended the throne of Perak with the title Sultan Mansur Shah II.

At the end of the reign of Mukaddam Shah in 1619, Iskandar Muda sent his army to re-conquer Perak and other states in the Malay Peninsula. It is still unknown where Mukaddam Shah's tomb is, however, it is certain that it is located in Aceh.
