Sultan Akhmed also had a daughter, who was of exceeding 

 beauty, and a Sheriff named Alt, of the line of AMifi-AL-HASAK, 

 came from the country of Tail* and passed into Bruni. Having 

 heard of the great beauty of the Princess, he became enamoured 

 of her. and the Sultan accepted him for his son-in-law, and gave 

 him the sovereignty of the kingdom. He was called Sultan Beekat, 

 and he enforced the laws of the prophet, and built a mosque in the 

 city of Bruni, and by the aid of his Chinese subjects he erected the 

 Kota Batu (stone wall), (see Xote IV.). 



The Sultan Beekat had a son — the Sultan Suleiman — who was 

 the father ( 6 ) of the Sultan Bulkeiah, (see Note V.) who was. the 

 Raja who conquered the kingdom of Soolook and made adependenc\ 

 of the country of Selurong, (7) the Raja of which was called 

 Datoh GrAMBABF. Sultan Bulkeiah ( 8 ) had a son, who was the 

 Sultan Abdul Kahae; he is known as the Mcrhoum Kramat, ( 9 ) 

 and was the father of the Sultan Saif-ul-Bejal. 



SArE-TJL-REJAL ( 10 ) was the father of the Sultan Shah Beuni,. 

 ( ll ) and when he died the kingdom descended to his brother Sultan 

 Hasan. 



(6) It is probable that Xakoda Ragam, Sultan Bllkeiau, carried on hit 

 career of travel and conquest during the lifetime of his father, Sultan Suleiman. 

 When Magellan's Squadron was at the mouth of the Bruni river, a. d. 1521, a 

 fleet returned to Bruni from the conquest of a place called Lawi, which was on 

 the East coast of Borneo. This fleet was commanded by the son of the Xing 

 of Luzon, who was the Captain-General of the King of Bruni. This statement 

 of Pigafetta's confirms the Brunian narrative. 



(7) Selurong is said by Brunian tradition to be in the island of Luzon and the 

 site of the present town of Manila. 



(8) It was probably towards the end of the reign of Sultan Buleeiah that 

 the sliips of Magellan, .after his death at Mactan, touched, in August, 1521, 

 at Brnni, where they found a magnificent court. 



(9) Ho was called Merhoum Kramat, from having appeared, after death, on 

 horseback at the head of the forces of Bruni to repel the Castilians during 

 their attack on Bruni. His tomb on the hill above Kota Batu was destroyed 

 by the Spanish shot. 



(10) It seems probable that it was in the reign of this Sultan Saif-ul-Kejal, 

 that Bruni was attacked by the Spaniards, A. l>. 1577, but the history is con- 

 tradictory on this point, in one place assigning the first attack to the time of 

 his father Sultan Abdul Kahak. The second attack by the Spaniards took 

 place in 15S0. 



(11) Sultan Shah Beuni is said to have been a great encourager of manu- 

 factures in brass. It was during his reign that the magnificent brass cannon 

 taken awav bv Sir Thomas Cocheane in 184G were founded.
