posed Prince, Sultan Jemal-al-Alum, returned on the 5th of Mohurrura, 

 and was received by some of the nobles. After a civil war, which 

 raged during four months, a peace was concluded, and the son of 

 Ahmed Shah, Puchit Aivap, elected king, under the title of Johan 

 Shah. 



31. Ala-uddin Johan Shah. A.H.I 172. After a war with the 

 Panglimas, and other chiefs of the kingdom, Ala-uddin was eventually- 

 compelled to abdicate. He died in retirement, A. H. 1174. After his 

 abdication, the nobles and heads of the twenty-two mukims, held a 

 public assembly in the principal mosque, in order to fix upon a suc- 

 cessor. A stormy discussion ensued leading to a civil war, in which,, 

 Tuanku Rajah, a son of Ala-uddin, lost his life. Peace was finally 

 restored, and a brother of Tuanku Kajah, Mahmud Shah, raised to 

 the throne. 



32. Sultan Ala-uddin Mahmud Shah. A. H. 1174. War shortly 

 broke out again among the factious nobles, and the Sultan was com- 

 pelled to fly, by Maharaja Laboi, who usurped the throne. A. H. 1177. 



33. Maharaja Laboi. A. H. 1177- Was assassinated, after a reign 

 of two years and seven months. The chiefs and people, at a public 

 convention, propose to recal Sultan Mahmud Shah which is agreed to 

 by the Hulubalangs, the heads of the mukims, the Pertamas, Purba 

 Wangsa, Nanat Sitti and the Imaums. Mahmud Shah resumed the 

 throne, but after a reign of little more than six years, was obliged to 

 make his escape to Telok Anga, in consequence of a night attack 

 made upon him by the chiefs of twenty-two mukims, who elected 



34. Andhina Lela in his stead. Andhina dying shortly after, Mahmud 

 Shah again took the field ; and, having gained over a considerable body 

 of the nobles, he advanced against Rajah Andhina (another candidate 

 for the throne), and, after a short contest, completely defeated him. 

 Mahmud Shah was thus, a third time, re-established in his seat on the 

 throne of Achin. He died on the seventh day of the moon Jemadi-al- 

 Akhir. A.H.I 195.
