When the Sultanate of Malacca empire fell to Portugal in 1511, Sultan Mahmud Shah retreated to Kampar, Sumatra, and died there in 1528. He left behind two princes, Alauddin Riayat Shah II and Muzaffar Shah. The former went on to establish the Sultanate of Johor. Muzaffar Shah was invited to rule Perak, and he became the first Sultan of Perak.
