This was part of an older pattern of politics, based on extended familial ties between royal families in the Sultanate of Johor and the royal families of the polities on the peninsula, such as Trengganu and Pahang. The rulers of Trengganu in the eighteenth century aided the Malay factions and the Sultan against the Bugis YTM and his followers in the kingdom (Vos 1992; Raja Ali Haji 1982).
