The Banten invasion of Palembang was a military conflict between the Palembang Sultanate, with the support of Portuguese mercenaries, against the Banten Sultanate. Launched by Sultan Maulana Muhammad, it had the aim of conquering the sultanate, in order to control the pepper trade. According to other sources, the invasion was also launched because Maulana Muhammad was incited by Prince Mas, who wished to become king of Palembang.
