Shariful Hashim [1457-1480]
He is thought-to-be a royal import. Many claims he is from Malacca Sultanate, either he is from the latter's royal family or not is a subject of another post.
Who became known as Paduka (Royal) Maha (Great) sari (lit, strip of cloth; fig, of royal descent) Maulana (Lord Master) Sultan (Ruler) Sharif [1] ul Hashim, the first sultan and the founder of the unified Sultanate of Sulu, started as Sayyid Abubakar. As he is not a native of Sulu, he gained political access by marrying Paramisuli, the daughter of pre-sultanate ruler, Rajah Baguinda. [2]
(In yet another post, we will explain that both "Rajah Baguinda" and "Paramisuli" are possibly Sanskrit-derived Malay royal titles than proper names.)
In Brunei Tarsila/Sarsila available on Royal Ark, his regnal name is reflected as follows, "Paduka Maulana Maha Sri Sultan Sharif al-Hashim 'Abu Bakar bin Sharif Zainal-Abidn, Sultan of Sulu" [2]

[1] The noble title "Sharif" and "Sayyid" are reserved from those descended from the Prophet's family through his grandsons, Hassan and Husayn, respectively.
