Zainatuddin of Aceh

Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Zainatuddin Kamalat Syah (died 1700) was the seventeenth ruler of Aceh Darussalam.

Jacob de Roy,[4] reported in 1696 that the sultana formally held unlimited powers and convened the assembly of grandees; however, she had to await the approval of the majority of the counselors.

[5] He also wrote that groups of people sometimes gathered in the capital Kutaraja and performed demonstrations in favour of a king.

The syahbandar (harbour master) entertained plans to arrange a marriage between the queen and his son, a captain of the guard who stood in high regard with Zainatuddin Kamalat Syah.

He asked Jacob de Roy to mediate in the affair since he realized that a marriage would evoke the envy of the orang kayas.
