Rulers
The line of Sultan of Sulu.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sharif ul-Hāshim of Sulu | 1457 – 1480 | 23 years | ending not on record |
8 rulers, 1 with terms dated as terms, covering 1457 – 1480. Only 23 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
