List of Sulu Sultans from the researches of historians Dr Najeeb Saleeby and Cesar Adib Majul
Among the dominant dynastic quarrels are those between the Patikul and Maimbung royals. The list below have thirty-two (32) sultans. However, given the dynastic quarrels, there can be more "competing sultans and reigns".
The list below is one provided by Cesar Adib Majul in his paper "An Analysis of the "Genealogy of Sulu"" (Majul Cesar Adib. An Analysis of the "Genealogy of Sulu". In: Archipel, volume 22, 1981. pp. 167-182; doi : 10.3406/arch.1981.1677http://www.persee.fr/doc/arch_0044-8613_1981_num_22_1_1677). This paper was prepared for a "Filipino Muslim History and Culture Seminar-Workshop", Department of History, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the East, Manila, October 20, 1977.
In his paper Majul was indebted to "Dr. Najeeb Saleeby for the collection, translation, and publication of many tarsilas from Sulu and Mindanao- in the first decade of this century. We owe Saleeby even more, considering that many of these documents had been burnt or lost during the last days of the Japanese Occupation in 1945. This especially holds true for the Sulu documents belonging to the Kiram family and Haji Buto 'Abdul Bâqî of Sulu." Therefore, the list below represents this perspective.

2. Sultan Kamâl ud-Dïn

List of Sulu Sultans from the researches of historians Dr Najeeb Saleeby and Cesar Adib Majul
There is no doubt that Sayyid Abu Bakr (regnal name Sultan Sharif ul-Hashim) established the Sulu sultanate and became its first sultan. As there is also no doubt that political sovereignty of the sultanate ended with Sultan Jamalul Kiram II. What is not clear, as there are claims and counter-claims among dynastic families over centuries, is as to how many sultans were there between the two of them.
Among the dominant dynastic quarrels are those between the Patikul and Maimbung royals. The list below have thirty-two (32) sultans. However, given the dynastic quarrels, there can be more "competing sultans and reigns".
