Figures, places, and events in Acehnese history associated with the year 1521 — the year of the fall of Pasej to the Portuguese, which drove the Paseier Faletahan to Mecca and then to Java (where he became Sunan Gunung Jati), and which cleared the way for the Atjehnese sultanate’s absorption of the north Sumatran coast.
