Rajah Matanda

Ache (c. 1500s - 1572; Old Spanish orthography: Rája Aché or Raxa Ache, also known as Ráha Matandâ ("the Old King"), was Rajah (roughly King) of Maynila, now the site of the capital of the Republic of the Philippines, Manila. The pre-colonial wider Maynila region connected by Manila Bay was also known as Lusong, from which the much larger colonial and modern region of Luzon was later named after. A younger Ache thus appears as the "Prince of Luzon" in historical testimonies predating the Spanish conquest of Maynila in his old age when he was the Rajah Matanda, but "Luzon" in this context should be understood to mean Lusong, i.e. only Maynila and the wider Manila Bay area at most instead of the whole of modern-day Luzon.

While still the Crown Prince of Maynila/Luzon and the grand admiral for the King of Brunei, Ache married a princess of Brunei in 1521. He was the King of Maynila/Luzon in 1570 when his nephew, the heir apparent (raja muda or raja mura) Sulayman together with Bunao, titled Lakandula, the lord of Tondo, engaged in a battle with the Martin de Goiti naval detachment to Luzon augmented by Cebuano military volunteers and part of the Legaspi expedition of Spain commissioned from New Spain to find the Maluku Islands. This battle resulted in the fall of Manila and the capture of 13 pieces of artillery.
