SULTANATES OF MAGUINDANAO
ROYAL HOUSE OF MAGUINDANAO
(Research and Edited by, Datu Ontay M. Abdulmadid)
With some minor
differences or variations, the Maguindanao tarsilas narrate how the Sharif
Muhammad Kabungsuwan arrived on the shores of Mindanao with a sea-fariing
people, after a long voyage from Johore. It is claimed that he was a son of the
Sharif Ali Zein ul-Abidin, an Arab from Mecca (or Hadhramaut) who settled in
Johore where he married Potri Diosol Asikin a daughter (or sister, in other
accounts) of the Sultan Iskandar Julkarnain and Sandori Salam of Jeddah.
Clearly what is meant here is that the Sharif married a princess of the royal
family of Johore that was descended from the dynasty founded by Iskandar
Julkarnain, the first Malacca sultan. In the list of Malacca sultans, only one,
the first bears his name; while in the list of the early Johore sultans, none
bears it. For good chronological reasons, Muhammad Kabungsuwan could not have
been a grandson of the first sultan of Malacca whose rule began around 1400.
Consequently, it would have been more accurate to have stated that the Sharif
Ali Zein ul-Abidin married into the Johore family that descended from Sultan
Iskandar Julkarnain.
It is interesting to note that there are supplementary
sections in the tarsilas regarding the genealogy of the Sharif Ali Zein
ul-Abidin from the Prophet Muhammad, may peace be upon him. This is unlike the
Sulu genealogy that does not contain a genealogy of the Sharif ul-Hashim but
merely asserts that he was a descendant of the Prophet, may peace be upon him.
But the Maguindanao royal line is not entirely of “foreign”
descent for, as the tarsilas assert, Muhammad Kabungsuwan married a few
daughters of local chieftains, thus giving his descendants a claim to hold
land, over and above a right to rule over Muslims. His daughters, too, later
on, married local chiefs. In this light, it is evident why the rulers of
Buayan, the Iranun datus, and minor sultans among the Maranaos have all claimed
descent from Muhammad Kabungsuwan.
Since the kingdom of Johore was not established before 1511,
the year of Malacca’s fall to the Portuguese, the coming of Muhammad
Kabungsuwan must have taken place after this event.
Sharif Muhammad Kabungsuan was the son of Ali Zein ul Abedin
an Arab hailing from Hadhramout (Mecca) who settled in Johore where he married
the daughter of Sultan Iskandar Julkarnain, the first sultan of Malacca. He
arrived in Malabang in 1515 and married the daughter of Macaapun Rajah Simbaan
of Malabang. Sharif Kabungsuan and her maranao wife Angintabo was blessed of
two children, Sharif macaalang and her sister Daragat. Angintabo died,and
Sharif Kabungsuan married Masawang niece of Angintabo, they begot eleven
children one of them is Aloyodan and Layagun now royal line of Lanao
Sultanates..
In 1543, Sharif Kabungsuan reached an old aged and he
installed his first native Maranao son Sharif Macaalang as 2nd Sultan of
Maguindanao in 1543-1574.
Sharif Macaalang married Bae Ble and begot Sharif
Bangkaya.
Sharif Bangkaya was enthroned as the 3rd Sultan of
Maguindanao in 1574-1578, he ruled for a short period, Sharif Bangkaya married
Bae sa Sulangan and begot Sharif Dimasangcay Adel.
Dimasangcay Adel was
enthroned as 4th Sultan of Maguindanao in 1579-1585. the Royal Datus and
sultans of Lanao and Iranon were descendants of Dimasangcay Adel.
Sharif
Bangkaya begot four children to her second wife Bai Bezaton, the children’s
were Datu sa Palao a Pekong , Rajah Muda a mala sa kalibo, Pinayongan Bae a
labi of Rabaugon in Pagadian and Sharif Gugu Sarikula.
In 1585- Sharif Sarikula
was enthroned as fifth sultan of Maguindanao, he married a Sulu princess.
Sharif Bangkaya begot two children and her 3rd wife Bae sa Matampay, such as
Dakunug of Malabang and Sharif Laut Buisan.
Sharif Laut Buisan was installed as
6th Sultan of Maguindanao in 1597, and was married to the sister of Sultan
Batara Shah Tengah of Sulu.
Sharif Laut Buisan begot Gayang and Muhammad
Dipatuan Kudarat, Gayang was married Amatonding a noni grandson of Dimasangcay
Adel, Sharif Matonding a noni whose children's now the reigning Sultans and Bai
Labi of Lanao while his brother Sharif Muhammad Dipatuan Kudarat was installed
as 7th sultan of Maguindanao in 1619.
In 1656 he reached declared a jihad
against the Spanish colonialist.
His sultanate was felt as far as Ternate in
Indonesia and Borneo and in facts its power had reached the shore of Bohol,
Cebu, Panay, Mindoro and Manila in north.

We noticed, the line of Sultan Dimasangkay Adel 4th Sultan
of Maguindanao and Ranao is out in the throne, That is the mean reason why
Iranons and Maranaos Gradually Stop their Support to the Sultanate system of
Maguindanao and Established the 16th Lanao Royal Sultanate from the lineage of
Aloyodan and Layagun Thru Sharief Dimasangkay a adel.
The Maguindanao Rulers and Sultans;
1. Sharief Muhammad Kabunsowan:
According to the Maguindanao tarsilas, his father was Sharif
Ali Zein ul-Abidin from Arabia, and his mother belonged to the royal family of
Johore. It may be speculated that he arrived on the shores of Mindanao around
1515. He first settled in what is now Malabang.
2. Sharief Maka-alang:
He was a son of Muhammad Kabungsuwan and surnamed
“saripada.” His mother Angintabu was a daughter of an Iranon chief from the
area now known as Malabang In 1543, when the Villalobos expedition, some
Spaniards were able to go to the mouth of a big river (Pulangi) where they were
informed by the inhabitants that their chief was called “Sarriparra.” This
being a variation of “Salipada” or “Saripada”, it can be surmised that the
chief was Sharief Maka-alang; especially if it is considered that not only does
a tarsila explicitly state that the Sharif had such a title but that such a
title was not found among his immediate successors.
3. Sharief Bangkaya:
He was a son of Sharif Maka-alang. In 1574, Guido de
Lavezaris wrote to the Spanish King that the chief of the Mindanao River wanted
to become a friend of the Spaniards. In another Spanish report, dated 1579,
this chief is referred to as “Asulutan” (Arabic, Assultan) with the information
that he was a father of Dimasangkay and that he had already died. This refers
probably to Datu Bangkaya who by 1574 must have been reigning for some time,
since in 1579, his son, Dimasangkay, was considered by the Spaniards to have
been “an old man.” Datu Bangkaya could also have been the ruler in the Pulangi
who was reported to have died in 1578.
4. Datu Dimasangkay:
He was a eldest son of Bangkaya. Spanish reports say that he
was ruling in 1579 and that he was an old man. The leading datus of the Iranuns
and Maranaos all claim descent from him, his two Children's settled in the Area
of Iranons and Maranao. Spaniard addressed his eldest son King of Maguindanao
Radia Muda sa Maguindanao.
5. Datu Sarikula:
He was a half brother of Dimasangkay and also known as Gugu
Salikula. Up to early 1597, he appeared to be a leading chief of Maguindanao,
Dimasangkay being dead at that time. According to tarsilas, he married a Sulu
princess, and therefore he must have been the Maguindanao chief seen in Jolo in
1597 where he was supposed to have been vanished for being “restless and
rebellious” and who was further described as a brother-in –law of the Sulu
ruler and an uncle of the Maguindanao rajah muda (erroneously called “king”) by
the Spaniards. He was chief around 1585-1597.
6. Kapitan Laut Buisan:
He was a younger half-brother of both Dimasangkay and
Salikula; he was sometimes called by the title “Katchil.” His rule began around
1597 when he displaced Salikula; he controlled his nephew, the rajah muda, a
son of Dimasangkay. He must have been chief at least up to 1619, since Dutch
sources mention relations with the immediate predecessor of Qudarat at this
date.
7. Sultan Mohammad Dipatuan Kudarat:
A son of Buisan, he was known to the Spaniards as Corralat
and to some Dutch writers as Guserat. In 1619-1621, there was war between
Buayan and Maguindanao, probably dynastic or a contest for primacy in the
Pulangi. Qudarat must have been involved in this war for not long after a
temporary reversal he appears as exercising some political power over Buayan.
Furthermore, he must have consolidated his power well enough after this to
enable him to attack Sarangani in 1625. He died about the end of 1671 after
having ruled for about half a century. His rule, with varying fortunes and at
different capitals, can, therefore, be fairly estimated to have taken place
from 1619 to 1671. By 1645, he was already using the title of “sultan”. As a
young man he was entitled “Katchil.” His regal name was Qudratullah, which
denoted that the bearer’s power came from God. His great grandchildren referred
to him as Nasir ud-Din.
8. Sultan Dundang Tidulay:
He was a son of Qudarat and there is a report that he died
before his father. If he ruled at all, it must have been for a very short time.
He was referred to as Saif ud-Din by his grandchildren
9. Sultan Barahaman (Arabic, Abd ur-Rahman):
He was a son of
Sultan Tidulay. He was also known as Minulu-sa-Rahmatullah. His sons referred
to him as Muhammad Shah. He was the Almo Sobat (Arabic, Al Muthabbat) to
William Dampier or the Almo al Lasab Brahaman to the Spaniards. The name of his
grandfather Qudarat was also used by him. He was heard of as sultan as early as
1678. Information given to Dutch officials at Ternate was that he died on July
6, 1699.
10. Sultan Kahar ud-Din Kuda:
He was a younger brother of Barahaman and was sometimes
known as Jamal ul-Azam. He also assumed the title of Amir ul-Umara as well as
that of Maulana. His reign was contested by two of his nephews, the sons of
Barahaman. To make more secure his authority, he asked the aid of the Sulu
Sultan Shahab ud-Din who came over to Simuay where Kuda held court. A
misunderstanding as well as bitterness due to a long standing feud brought
about a pitched battle between the Sulus and Maguindanaons. In the struggle,
the Sulu Sultan personally slew Kuda. This event took place on August 10, 1702.
11. Sultan Bayan ul-Anwar:
His legal name was Jalal ud-Din. Entitled “Dipatuan” during
lifetime, he was known after his death as Mupat Batua. He was a son of Sultan
Barahaman. In 1701, he was already intriguing against his uncle the sultan. He
succeeded to the throne in 1702 and held court in Slangan but was often in
Sibugay. His younger bother Jafar Sadiq, the rajah muda, revolted against him
but he managed to keep the throne. In 1736, Anwar “abdicated” in favor of his
son Tahir ud-Din Malinug (No. 13). He died around 1745.
12. Sultan Muhammad Jafar Sadiq Manamir:
He was a younger brother of Sultan Buyan ul-Anwar. He was
sometimes referred to as Amir ud-Din. Referred to as Maulana while alive, he
was known after his death as Shahid Mupat. He contested the reign of his older
brother but he was forced to flee to Tamontaka in 1710. Dutch officials
referred to him as “the young king” to distinguish him from sultan Bayan
ul-Anwar. By 1725, he had assumed the title of Paduka Sri Sultan. In March
1733, his brother and nephew Malinug attacked his forces in Tamontaka. The
latter caused his death in the ensuing struggle. While his brother had power
along the coast, Manamir held sway over the interior. His power was recognized
in Tamontaka from about 1710 to his death in March 1733.
13. Sultan Muhammad Tahir ud-Din:
A son of Sultan Bayan ul-Anwar (No. 11), he was commonly
known to the Spaniards as Dipatuan Malinug. He was also known as Muhammad Shah
Amir ud-Din. In a battle in 1733, he killed his uncle Jaafar Sadiq Manamir. In
1736, his father started sharing with him the responsibilities of government.
His authority was however contested by two of his cousins, sons of Manamir,
forcing him to retire to the interior where he died in Buayan around 1748.
14. Sultan Muhammad Khair ud-Din:
He was a son of Sultan Jafar Sadiq and was better known to
Europeans as Pakir Maulana Kamsa (Arabic, Farqir Maulana Hamzah) or Amir ud-Din
Hamza. He also used the name Azim ud-Din and assume the title Amir ul-Mu’minin.
In 1733, after his father was slain, he began to consider himself heir to the
throne and thereupon called himself “rajah muda.” The next year, he was
formally invested with the duties of a sultan in the presence of Spanish
officials from Zamboanga. With some Spanish aid, he was able to consolidate his
position in Tamontaka and contest the rule of his uncle Bayan ul-Anwar and
later that of his cousin Malinug. But upon the latter’s death around 1748, the
struggle for the sultanate ceased. Pakir Maulana Kamsa emerged as paramount
chief of Maguindanao. Around 1755, he started to relinquish some of his powers
to his younger brother with the condition that his son, Kibad Sahriyal, would
be the raja muda.
15. Sultan Pahar ud-Din:
He was a younger brother of Pakir Maulana Kamsa and was
known as Datu Pongloc or Panglu. He began to exercise the powers of Sultan
around 1755 and was in the sultan’s seat in that same year when Captain Thomas
Forrest paid a visit to Maguindanao. After his death he was known as Mupat
Hidayat.
16. Sultan Kibad Sahriyal:
His more legal title was Muhammad Azim ud-Din Amir ul-Umara.
He was ason of Pakir Maulana Kamsa (No. 14). Even before the death of his uncle
the Sultan, he was already being addressed as “sultan.” He was friendly towards
the Spaniards and at least twice entered into peaceful negotiations with them,
namely, in 1789 and 1794. He probably governed from 1780 to 1805.
17. Sultan Kawasa Anwar ud-Din:
He 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.
18. Sultan Iskandar Qudratullah Muhammad Jamal ul-Azam:
He was more popularly known as Sultan Untong. He was a great
grandson of Kibad Sahriyal (No. 16) and a nephew of Sultan Kawasa (No. 17).
Some Spanish documents carry his name as Iskandar Qudarat Pahar ud-Din. In 1837
and 1845, he entered into friendly treaties with the Spaniards. He died either
in 1853 or 1854.
19. Sultan Muhammad Makakwa:
He was a grandson of Sultan Kawasa Anwar ud-Din (No. 17).
His rule can be estimated to have lasted from 1854 to 1884. He died in Nuling
(in the site of the old settlement of Maguindanao)
20. Sultan Muhammad Jalal ud-Din Pablu:
Also known as Sulatn Wata, he was a son of Sultan Makakwa.
His capital was at Banubu, just opposite the town of Cotabato across the
Pulangi. His death took place in 1888.
21. Sultan Mangigin:
He was a grandson of the famous Datu Dakula of Sibugay, who,
in turn, was a grandson of Kibad Sahriyal (No. 16). He began his rule in 1896.
From 1888 to 1896, the sultanate was vacant. This was probably due to the fact
that Datu Utto (Sultan Anwar ud-Din of Buayan wanted his brother-in-law Datu
Mamaku (a son of Qudratullah Untung) to become the Sultan. The Spaniards,
however, wanted the sultanate to go to one of the Sibugay datus. Around the end
of 1900, Sultan Mangigin transferred his residence from Cotabato to Sibugay. In
1906, he married Rajah Putri, the widow of Datu Utto and sister of Datu Mamaku.
22. SULTAN MOHAMMAD “TATO” ESMAIL

parents were first cousins. SULTAN MANGIGUIN, choose his nephew to become the
