Fatahillah

Fatahillah, Fadhillah Khan, or Falatehan (Portuguese writing)[1]: 433  was a commander of the Sultanate of Demak who is known for leading the conquest of Sunda Kelapa in 1527 and changing its name to Jayakarta.

According to H. J. de Graaf, Fatahillah came from the Samudera Pasai Sultanate in what is now North Aceh Regency and then left the region after the Portuguese capture of Malacca in 1511.

[citation needed] There is another theory states says Fatahillah was the son of the king of Mecca who married the royal princess of Pakuan Pajajaran, the capital of the Sunda Kingdom.

Another opinion mentions his birth being in 1448 to Sultan Syarif Abdullah Maulana Huda, an Egyptian ruler of Banu Hashim descendent from Palestine, with Nyai Rara Santang, daughter of the king of Pakuan Pajajaran, Raden Manah Rasa.

Jamaluddin Akbar is a great traveler from Gujarat, India who led his sons and grandchildren to preach to Southeast Asia, with Campa (the edge of the Mekong delta, now Kampuchea) as headquarters.
