Keumalahayati or Malahayati was an admiral in the navy of the Aceh Sultanate. After the fall
of Malacca to Portuguese invaders, Aceh wanted to ensure that merchant shipping routes in
the Malacca Strait remained exclusively for Asian traders. The King, Sultan Alauddin
Mansyur Syah, strengthened his military power by building a powerful navy to which he
decided to appoint Malahayati, a widowed Aceh warrior, as his First Admiral.

In 1599, Dutch expedition commander Cornelis de Houtman arrived at the port of Aceh. The
Sultan accepted him peacefully until de Houtman insulted him. Malahayati led her Inong

pepper off the Aceh coast. After this incident, in June 1601, Malahayati ordered the arrest of
Dutch Admiral Jacob van Neck. After many incidents which blocked Dutch Navy expeditions
and the threat from the Spanish fleet, Maurits van Oranje sent emissaries with a diplomatic
letter of apology to the Empire of Aceh.

In 1602, Malahayati’s reputation as the guardian as the guardian of the Aceh Kingdom led
England to choose a peaceful, diplomatic method by which to enter the Malacca Strait. A
letter from Queen Elizabeth I was brought by James Lancaster to the Sultan, and it was
Malahayati who led the negotiation with Lancaster. Malahayati was killed in combat while
attacking the Portuguese fleet at Teuluk Krueng Raya.
