The old Pahang kingdom (Malay: Kerajaan Pahang Tua[2]) was a historical Malay polity centred in the Pahang region on the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. The polity appeared in foreign records from as early as the 5th century[4] and at its height, covered much of modern state of Pahang and the entire southern part of the peninsula.[5] Throughout its pre-Melakan history, Pahang was established as a mueang[1] or naksat[6] of some major regional Malayic mandalas including Langkasuka,[7] Srivijaya[8] and Ligor.[9] Around the middle of the 15th century, it was brought into the orbit of Melaka Sultanate and subsequently established as a vassal Muslim Sultanate in 1470, following the coronation of the grandson of the former Maharaja as the first Sultan of Pahang.[10]
