Pati Unus
Pati Unus aka Yat Sun (Javanese: ꦥꦠꦶꦪꦸꦤꦸꦱ꧀, Chinese: 逸新, Pinyin: Yat Sun) known as Pangeran Sabrang Lor (1488–1521) was the second
According to Tome Pires in 1513, Pati Unus was 25 years old and had finished invading Malacca in the first attack. In 1521, Pati Unus led a second invasion of Malacca against the Portuguese occupation. However, he was killed in battle and was succeeded by his sister-in-law, Trenggana as the next king of Demak.[1][2][3]

A son of Raden Patah named Raden Surya is also known as Pangeran Sabrang Lor (sabrang means crossing and lor means north), because he crossed the Java Sea to Malacca to fight the Portuguese.
The statement of the figure of Pati Unus clashes with the figure of Trenggana, the third king of Demak, who reigned from 1505 to 1518, then from 1521 to 1546.
Invasions of Malacca
First invasion
In 1512,
Pati Unus's junk is the largest seen by the people of this area. He had a thousand soldiers on board, and His Majesty can trust me... that it was a very remarkable thing to see, because the nearby Anunciada didn't look like a ship at all. We attacked it with bombardment
Second invasion
In 1521, all 375 ships had been completed. Despite serving as sultan for only three years, Pati Unus decided to directly join the expedition along with his two sons from his marriage to Raden Patah's daughter, and another son from another wife. The war fleet was prepared to depart from the port of Demak, blessed by Sunan Gunung Jati. The exceptionally large fleet for its time was led by Pati Unus. This massive war fleet set sail for Malacca, where the Portuguese had prepared a defense with dozens of large cannons protruding from the Malacca fortress.
As Pati Unus's ship was about to lower the boat to dock on the beach, it was struck by a cannonball, and he died as a result of the attack. The Javanese joint forces, who had also suffered heavy casualties, decided to retreat under the leadership of Raden Hidayat, the second in command after the death of Pati Unus. Upon the return of the remaining fleet to Java, Fadhlullah Khan, was appointed by Syarif Hidayatullah as the new Commander of the Joint Fleet, replacing Pati Unus who died in Malacca.
The failure of the second expedition to Malacca was partly due to internal factors, particularly issues of harmony among the sultanates of Indonesia.
Pati Unus's first and third sons also perished, while his second son, Raden Abdullah, survived and continued the lineage of Pati Unus. He joined the remaining fleet to return to Java. In the fleet that returned to Java, some soldiers of the Malacca Sultanate chose to migrate to Java as their homeland failed to be recaptured from the Portuguese colonizers. They were Malaccan Malays, and their descendants later assisted the descendants of Raden Abdullah, the son of Pati Unus, in the Islamization of the land of Pasundan.
