Castilian War

On 1578 Pengiran Seri Lela would recover and would rally with the Spanish against Saiful Rijal and claim Brunei destroying the other claimants to the Sultanate of Brunei, Pengiran Seri Lela’s daughter would marry the son of Rajah Sulayman in between the war with Saiful Rijal and the Spanish were able to puppetize the surviving Sultanate of Brunei ruled by Pengiran Seri Lela until his death which would be annexed by the Spanish instead of his daughter, Putri inheriting.

Putri, Pengiran Seri Lela’s daughter would marry Soliman IV of Tondo and Manila which would be a titular at this point, however the death of Pengiran Seri Lela would cause a revolt of the Maharlikas led by Soliman IV of Tondo and Manila to make the Archipelago independent of the Spanish rule and rule all of the Spanish East Indies and Brunei and claim his wife’s rightful inheritance which would lead to Soliman IV to openly revolt in 1589 in which Soliman IV would plan to raze the city of Manila and reclaim the Sultanate of Brunei, but nothing of it would came to pass as Antonio Surabao would have leaked the revolt and all of the conspirators would be killed and the children of Soliman IV would be part of the Principalia in the Spanish East Indies.
