According to legend, the site that is now Malacca City was named Malaka when Parameswara, a Sumatran prince arrived there. Due to its riches, the news of the success of Malacca reached the Portuguese, who had an established presence on Indian ports. In April 1511 Afonso de Albuquerque, who was the Portuguese expedition leader together with his armada, arrived in Malacca to sever its Islamic and Venetian trade. On 15 August 1511 Malacca was captured. When the city came under Portuguese administration, its name was spelled "Malaca".
The Dutch with their local allies assaulted and wrested Malacca from the Portuguese in January 1641. This combined Dutch-Johor effort effectively destroyed the last bastion of Portuguese power, removing their influence in the Malay archipelago.
