Tun Mutahir died

Happened: 1510

Description

Raja Mudaliar, the Syahbandar (Chief of Port) of Malacca knew that Tun Mutahir always favoured his relatives and granted them positions in the palace, which raised resentments among the other nobles. Allegedly Raja Mendaliar began spreading rumours that Tun Mutahir was scheming to take over the throne.

The Sultan then ordered the execution of Mutahir's family with the exception of Tun Fatimah, Mutahir's daughter whom the sultan desired to marry. Upon realizing his mistake, Sultan Mahmud abdicated in favour of his son, Sultan Ahmad Shah.
