Ache (c. 1500s - 1572; Old Spanish orthography: Rája Aché or Raxa Ache,[2] also known as Rája Matandâ ("the Old King"),[3] was King of Luzon who ruled from the kingdom's capital Maynila now the capital of the Republic of the Philippines.
While still the Crown Prince of Luzon and the grand admiral for the King of Brunei, Ache married a princess of Brunei in 1521. He was the King of Luzon in 1570 when his nephew, the heir apparent (raja muda) Sulayman together with Bunao, Lakandula, the lord of Tondo,[2] engaged in a battle with the Martin de Goiti naval detachment to Luzon augmented by Cebuano military volunteers and part of the Legaspi expedition of Spain commissioned from New Spain to find the Maluku Islands. This battle resulted in the fall of Manila and the capture of 13 pieces of artillery.[1][4][2]
