The account of De Barros varies a little from the above. He describes Paramisara as a fugitive noble from Java, instead of the deposed king of Palembang, and it was the invasion of the king of Siam, and not of the chief of Patani, that forced him to leave Singhapura. With this exception, the two accounts generally agree, except that De Barros places the foundation of the city 253 years before the arrival of the Portuguese in India. He also refers to hostilities between Siam and Malacca, and the acceptance of Siamese suzerainty by Sekandar Shah. This evidently explains the passage in Commentaires d’ Albuquerque that Sultan Muhammad repudiated allegiance to Siam.
