The younger son [[Sultan Ahmad al-Muadzam Shah|Wan Ahmad]] challenged the succession of his half-brother [[Tun Mutahir of Pahang|Tun Mutahir]], in a dispute that escalated into a [[Pahang Civil War|civil war]]. Supported by the neighbouring [[Terengganu|Terengganu Sultanate]] and the Siamese, Wan Ahmad emerged victorious, establishing controls over important towns and expelled his brother in 1863.
