Sultan Muwallil Wasit I parents, children and grandchildren

By Muhyiddin Ibn Al-Kutub -
Sultan Muwallil Wasit I (Pengiran Raja Bongsu Adipati) was the son of Sultan Muhammad Hassan of Brunei (1582-1598) from his "Putri Sulu" wife who is turn was the daughter of Sultan Muhammad al-Halim Buddiman (Pangiran Buddiman).[1]

It is claimed that Sultan Nasirud-Din II (1645-1648) and Sultan Salahud-Din Bakhtiar or Pangiran Baktial (1649/50-1680) were Sultan Muwallil Wasit I sons. [ref]

Of the Sultan Muwallil Wasit I's daughters, one was married to Sultan Qudarat of Maguindanao and another to Datu Balatamay (Baratamay), Rajah of Buayan. [ref]

Among Sultan Muwallil Wasit I grandchildren, Sultan Nurul-Azam (Pangyan Ampay, Sitti Kabila) daughter of Sultan Nasirud-Din II appear to have inherited from his father and reign for half a decade. She appears to be the only female ruler in the Sulu Sultanate [ref]

From his son, Pangiran Bakhtiar, three (3) grandsons succeeded the throne as Sultan Shahabud-Din (1685-1710), Sultan Mustafa Shafi ud-Din (1710-1718) and Sultan Badarud-Din I (1718-1732). [ref]

It seems this is not just true today but has also a historical precedence. I have encountered texts with Brunei royalty calling Tawi-Tawi their "home away from home". Take the story of Pengiran Mudah Tengah. In 1889, Brunei's 25th ruler, Pengiran Temenggong Anak Hashim (regnal name Sultan Hashim Jalilul Alam Aqam al-Din and son of Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin II) appointed his eldest son Pengiran Muda Besar Omar Ali Saifuddin as the acting Sultan to give him the experience needed when he took over the throne. When the appointment was carried out, Sultan Hashim's second son (Pengiran Muda Tengah) left Brunei and stayed in Sabah before moving on to Tawi-Tawi. Pengiran Muda Tengah did return to Brun
