Brunei History and Monarchy: Early history, Ruling system and governance, Economy, Culture, Travel and Tourism

By Evan Adams

Although its early history is obscure, Brunei was known to be trading with and paying tribute to China in the 6th century. It then came under Hindu influence for a time through allegiance to the Majapahit Empire, based in Java. When the ships of the expedition of Ferdinand Magellan anchored off Brunei in 1521, the fifth sultan, the great Bolkiah, controlled practically the whole of Borneo, the Sulu Archipelago, and neighboring islands. Toward the end of the 16th century, however, the territory was torn by internal strife. More information on Brunei History and Monarchy Book......
