==History==
===1743–1766: Pre-formation===
The Sultans of Selangor are descended from a [[Bugis]] dynasty that claim descent from the rulers of [[Luwu]] in the [[South Sulawesi|southern part of Celebes]] (today known as [[Sulawesi]]). Nobles from this bloodline were involved in the dispute over the [[Johor Sultanate|Johor]]-[[Riau Sultanate|Riau]] Sultanate in the early 18th century, eventually placing their full support in the cause of [[Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah of Johor]] of the Bendahara dynasty against the claimant to the Malaccan lineage, Raja Kechil.<ref name=":89"/> For this reason, the [[Sultan of Johor|Bendahara rulers]] of Johor-Riau established close relations with the Bugis nobles, providing them with titles and control over many areas within the empire, including Selangor.

Daeng Chelak, one of the five Bugis warriors, married Sulaiman Badrul Alam Shah's sister, Tengku Mandak.<ref name="Sejarah Selangor" /> He was made the second Yang di-Pertuan Muda of Riau from 1728 until 1745.<ref>{{cite book | author = Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid | title = The Encyclopedia of Malaysia | publisher = Editions Didier Millet | volume = 16 - The Rulers of Malaysia | year = 2011 | isbn = 978-981-3018-54-9}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://multikulturalui.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/prosiding-simg-ui-2012-jilid-1-11.pdf |title=Malay-Bugis in the Johor-Riau and Riau-Lingga Kingdoms |publisher=Dedi Zuraidi |location=[[Tanjung Pinang]], [[Indonesia]] |language=id|date=2012 |website=[[WordPress]]}}</ref> He appointed his son, [[Raja Lumu]] to become ''Yamtuan Selangor'' on 1743.<ref name=":89"/> In the same year, Raja Lumu  was recognised by the 14th [[Sultan of Perak]], Sultan Muhammad Shah ibni Sultan Mansur Shah III as the ''Raja Selangor'', after helping the Sultan ascended Perak's throne.

After the death of Sultan Salehuddin Shah on 1778, he was succeeded by his son, Raja Ibrahim Marhum Saleh, who then used the title [[Sultan Ibrahim Shah of Selangor|Sultan Ibrahim Shah]].<ref name="Salasilah Sultan">{{cite web|title=Sejarah Kesultanan Selangor|url=http://www.selangor.gov.my/index.php/pages/view/125|website=selangor.gov.my|access-date=10 April 2018}}</ref> In 1784, he was defeated in the attack on [[Kuala Selangor]] by the [[Dutch Empire|Dutch]], forcing him to leave Kota Malawati.

After 31 years of reign, Sultan Muhammad died in late 1857 without appointing an heir. As a result, there was a huge dispute regarding who will succeed him as the Sultan of Selangor. His nephew, Raja Abdul Samad Raja Abdullah was finally chosen to be the next Sultan and he took on the title [[Abdul Samad of Selangor|Sultan Abdul Samad]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://hids.arkib.gov.my/-/kemangkatan-sultan-muhammad-shah-selangor |title=Kemangkatan Sultan Muhammad Shah |access-date=30 September 2019 |website=Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah, Arkib Negara Malaysia }}</ref> He gave the power of authority of [[Klang, Malaysia|Klang]] to Raja Abdullah and [[Kuala Langat District|Langat]] to Tunku Kudin of Kedah, both of whom were his sons-in-law, in 1866 and 1868 respectively.<ref name="Salasilah Sultan" />

===1875–1957: Colonial Era===
During Sultan Abdul Samad's reign, the [[Klang War]] broke out between Raja Abdullah and the previous ruler of Klang, Raja Mahdi. The involvement of [[British Empire]] in the war marks as their first involvement in Selangor's politics.

Sultan Sulaiman was succeeded by Tengku Alam Shah in 1938, using the title [[Hisamuddin of Selangor|Sultan Hisamuddin Alam Shah]].<ref name="Salasilah Sultan"/> In January 1942, following the [[Japanese occupation of Malaya]], he was told to surrender his throne to his elder half-brother, Tengku Musa Eddin, whom the Japanese proclaimed as the new Sultan of Selangor, taking the title [[Musa Ghiatuddin Riayat Shah of Selangor|Sultan Musa Ghiatuddin Riayat Shah]]. Sultan Hisamuddin refused Japanese orders for him to work with them and stopped receiving the allowance awarded to him. Sultan Musa Ghiatuddin Riayat Shah was installed as the seventh Sultan of Selangor by the then Governor of Selangor, Lieutenant-General Shotaro Katayama in November 1943. He only ruled for three years, during the Japanese occupation.
