Borneo. He was the son of Sultan Bantilan Muizz ud-Din, and cousin to Sultan Muhammad Israil udDin.
After the death of Sultan Bantilan Muizz ud-Din in 1763, he became the Sultan of Sulu; which lasted
until 1764 when the British forced the restoration of the former Sultan Azim ud-Din I.
In 1778, he poisoned his cousin and the reigning Sultan Muhammad Israil ud-Din which led to his
proclamation as the new sultan for the second time.
Sultan Kawasa Anwar ud-Din was a son of Kibad Sahriyal and like his father was also entitled Amir ul-Umara.
He entered into a peaceful treaty with the Spaniards in 1805. One of his seals carried the title Iskandar
Julkarnain. He possibly reigned from 1805 to 1830.
Sultan Saiful Rijal (also Saiful Rehal)[1] was the eighth sultan of Brunei. He ruled from 1533, from
the abdication of his uncle,[citation needed] until his death in 1581. During his reign, the Castille War broke
out in 1578. He was succeeded by his son Shah Berunai.
The earliest historical record of the Sultans of Brunei is not clearly known due to the poor early
documentation of Brunei history. In addition there has been an effort to Islamise the history, with the
"official history" not matching up with verifiable foreign sources [2]The Batu Tarsilah - the genealogical
record of the kings of Brunei - was not started until 1807. Therefore, much of the intepretation on
history relied on earlier Chinese sources and legends.[3] It seems that the early Sultanate of Brunei
was dependent on Chinese support,[3][4][5] and perhaps early Sultans were of Chinese
origin.[3] Furthermore the earliest Sultans may have been practising the Hindu or Buddhist religions,
with early names indicating this origin.[2]

from continuing his battle with the Spaniards, and as such, the Spanish troops decided to attack Buluan - the
Datu's source of strength.
In a campaign led by Governor General Emilio Terrero in Cotabato from 1886 to 1887, he planned to seek the
total submission of Datu Utto. Upon the attack in Buayan on January 19, 1886, Datu Utto was force to retreat.
On February 4, Bakat was captured and near the said capital, the Reina Regente Fort was captured, which
made Datu Utto to go deeper into the interior. The Spaniards persuaded a few datus to go against Datu Utto,
and to pledge to the Royal Crown. On March 9, 1887, a message from Datu Utto was delivered to the Spanish
camp by his uncle telling that he is now willing to submit. The following day, he and his wife, Rajah Putri, signed
a peace treaty with the Spaniards.
