We have to mention the name of Shariff Hidayatullah, one of Wali Songo or the 9 Saints of Java. He was the only Saints had had the title of Shariff, similar to the title of the Shariff in Negara Brunei and Sulu Kingdom. Could he had some relation to the 4 Shariffs that we had mentioned in earlier post in this blog? With the help of the Sultan Of Demak, he took over Banten in 1424/25 and this date was the date that Shariff Ali was appointed the 3rd Sultan Of Brunei until 1432. Around this time (1450) the Sulu Sultanate was founded too.
The son of Shariff Hidayatullah, Sultan Hasanudin became the first Sultan of Banten and his grand son, Sultan Yusuf followed suit. Shariff Hidayatullah founded the Cirebon Sultanate. Cirebon is located in the northern part of Java Island, about five hours journey by road from Jakarta.
The story I gathered, one of the Shariff sailed back (place not known),but the story teller mentioned Johor. He could be Shariff Hidayatullah as he was also the one sent to China as an Ambassador and married the Chinese princess named Ong Thien.
