Terraces and Pagodas III

As I promised before, I will create a revision of my old completed timeline, Terraces and Pagodas but it will have an earlier POD and the POD is in 14th century.

I have a fascination with the Heptarchy of the Anglo-Saxons, I think the Tondo dynasty in OTL Luzon or Selurong in this TL could also do this and centralize their dominion, this timeline is only a part of a bigger TL I am working..I will end it a few years before the Europeans discover an Easy route to the Indies and create colonies there or abandon it when I post that timeline here, I might also make Sulu more powerful in OTL and in this TL the Linguafranca of Selurong is a language similar to the Kapampangan language.

I will use the terms Heptarchy to describe Selurong polity and Principalities to describe the to describe the polities in Selurong..

Apo Dibuka
In the early fourteenth century Aparri becomes a known port and the town starts to expand and swallow the towns in near it because of trade and commerce becomes a wealthy trading town and gobbles the towns near it and it later became a part of the Principality of Lihan which pays tribute to the “King” of Selurong or Lakan was the leader of the Heptarchy that basically ruled over the Island of Selurong[1] whose capital is Tundun.

Dibuka of Kaboloan or Apo Dibuka was very much ambitious that she attached herself to Timanukum II who was the leader of the Heptarchy of Selurong, Timanukum II.

Dibuka of Kaboloan was married to Lakan Timanukum II in the late mid 14th centurhy, which meant that the Principality of Kaboloan became a part of the domains of the ruler of the Heptarchy at this time the muslim missionaries are spreading their faith in the Island South East Asia, later Dibuka of Kaboloan dreamt that the Bruneians and later the Europeans(the Spanish to be exact) will devastate Selurong and turn it a part of their empires so Dibuka of Kaboloan advised her own former liege and husband, the ruler of Mayi/Selurong who was named Timanukum II in 1380 to never be friendly with the Muslims and said that Muslims would create a negative influence on them and that the new religion also has restrictions on women so she gave advice that he should ban the entry of the Muslim missionaries completely but not only that Timanukum also decided that he should also expel the muslim converts out, he told her that her advice was good and he hired her as his own advisor on the relations to foreign countries and later on Lakan Timanukum II had the muslims were expelled at her own request, the Muslim missionaries were also banned from entering and proselytizing in all of the principalities in Selurong, she was known in being the reason of the expulsions of the muslims in the Island of Selurong, in the future Selurong will be known as the Kingdom of Selurong to the Europeans.

[FONT=&quot]Dibuka of Kaboloan had many movies about her own life; one of them was The Legend of Dibuka, the Queen of Selurong, Dibuka of Lingayen and Timanukum II had 8 children, four daughters named; Burak, Pasai, Pasig and Kayan and four sons; Domongan, Gambang, Madanum, Mayumu[/FONT]



[FONT=&quot]Because of the new policies the muslim missionaries in Kumintang were expelled but later after 10 years they came back to Kumintang a decade later starting a reislamization in Kumintang later on the sons of Dibuka of Kaboloan head hunted the nobles that allied with the Islamic converts and the muslim missionaries that wanted to stay in Selurong and displayed them in the palace that they were trying to build.[/FONT]



Dibuka of Kaboloan was known as one of the people that aided the development of Selurong that is why that many movies were made about her.

After Timanukum II died Domongan became the ruler of Selurong, Domongan married a daughter of Yongle, the Chinese Emperor, Princess Yong-An as one of his wives in 1401 at the start of the reign of Yongle.

Correction of the first chapter..
Apo Dibuka
In the early fourteenth century Aparri becomes a known port and the town starts to expand and swallow the towns in near it because of trade and commerce becomes a wealthy trading town and gobbles the towns near it and it pays tribute to the “King” of Selurong or Lakan was the leader of the Heptarchy that basically ruled over the Island of Selurong whose capital is Tundun.

Dibuka of Kaboloan or Apo Dibuka was very much ambitious that she attached herself to Timanukum II who was the leader of the Heptarchy of Selurong, Timanukum II.

Domongan

Zheng He visited Selurong in 1420, Yong-An told Domongan to give tribute to China, Domongan initially refused to give tribute to China due to the isolationist policies of the Tondo Dynasty but Yong-An told Domongan that it would defend his state in order to avoid the Bruneian influence, so Domongan agrees that Selurong will give tribute of gold from the Northern mountains to China, Yong le was happy about the decision of Domongan to give tribute to the Chinese and later introduced reforms.
Domongan was happy with his wife Yong-An and talked with his father in law, Yong le and told him that he was happy that his mother picked Yong-An as his own wife, Yong le was happy about that.
Domongan also improved the relations with Sulu which is an emerging trading hub, Domongan and Yong-An were remembered as monarchs of Selurong and also Selurong was put in the map, before Selurong was just a mere backwater country that never tried to contact with China and did not really want to make friends with the Chinese, it was King Domongan's[1] policy that changed Selurong for the better.

The Reign of Alon

Alon became the ruler of Selurong in 1460, after Domongan died, Alon was known for reversing the work that his own father done, he rather focused on reforming Selurong and restoring the isolationist policies of the Tondo Dynasty, the court was moved to Iraya[1] near Aparri although Tondo remained the administrative capital, compared to Domongan, Alon was xenophobic and was very anti-muslim and promoted a personality cult which had the king worshiped as the son of Heaven, Alon continued the expulsions and persecution of Muslims which happened during the reign of Timanukum II which would later lead to the Selurong-Bruneian War.

In 1500, the Selurong-Bruneian war erupted due to the non-tolerance of the Muslims in Selurong, Bolkiah and his armies attacked Selurong, Lower Selurong(Kumintang and Bikol) was lost to Brunei and the capital was moved completely Northwards to Iraya, the already defacto capital of Selurong, and Tundun lost it's importance and almost became a no-man's land, baybayin, the script was forgotten due to the war between Selurong and Brunei and the area that used it is the mid part of Selurong which was devastated by wars, Alon promised that he will regain the lost lands of Selurong, so they warred against Brunei again but they lost again so Lower Selurong was not redeemed it remained under Bruneian domination, Alon made peace by having his grand daughter Banua marry Lontok, the son of Bolkiah which guaranteed peace between the new power, Brunei and Selurong.
