Bendahara Dynasty
The Bendahara dynasty ( ms, Wangsa Bendahara, Jawi:) is the current ruling dynasty of Pahang Sultanate, a constituent state of Malaysia. The royal house were of noble origin, holding the hereditary position of ''Bendahara'' (the highest rank in Malay nobility) in the courts of Singapura, Melaka and Old Johor since at least from the end of the 13th century. The ascendancy of the family as a royal house began in the late 17th century, when the last ruler of Johor from Melaka dynasty, Mahmud Shah II died without a male heir. In 1699, the reigning Bendahara at that time, Tun Abdul Jalil was proclaimed Abdul Jalil Shah IV of Johor, beginning the consolidation of Bendahara rule in the sultanate, with different family members holding both the titles of Sultan and Bendahara, and later the title of Temenggong. At the same time, the state of Pahang was established as the special province, with successive Bendaharas ruling the state as their personal fief. In 1770, following the gra ...

Cadet Branch
In history and heraldry, a cadet branch consists of the male-line descendants of a monarch's or patriarch's younger sons ( cadets). In the ruling dynasties and noble families of much of Europe and Asia, the family's major assets— realm, titles, fiefs, property and income—have historically been passed from a father to his firstborn son in what is known as primogeniture; younger sons—cadets—inherited less wealth and authority to pass to future generations of descendants. In families and cultures in which this was not the custom or law, as in the feudal Holy Roman Empire, equal distribution of the family's holdings among male members was eventually apt to so fragment the inheritance as to render it too small to sustain the descendants at the socio-economic level of their forefather. Moreover, brothers and their descendants sometimes quarreled over their allocations, or even became estranged. While agnatic primogeniture became a common way of keeping the family's wealth ...

Mahmud II Of Johor
Paduka Sri Sultan Mahmud Syah II ibni al-Marhum Sultan Ibrahim Syah (1675 or 1680 – 1699) was the Sultan of Johor, Pahang and Lingga (1685 – 3 September 1699). As he was young upon assumption of the throne, regents oversaw the affairs of state in Johor until the death of the Bendahara, a high official, in 1697.

The death of the Johor sultan led to a period of upheaval and chaos in the southern Melaka Straits, as successors jockeyed for control of the state.

Much of this is obscured due to the circumstances of his rule and death. Mahmud Syah II became sultan in 1685, following the death of his father Ibrahim Syah, who had overseen an expansi ...
