- Bruneian_Empire abstract "The Bruneian Empire was founded in the early 7th century on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia.[citation needed]The empire was ruled by pagan or Hindu kings converted to Islam by Indians, Arabs and merchants from other parts of Maritime Southeast Asia who came to trade and spread Islam. No local or indigenous sources exist to provide evidence for any of this, so Chinese texts have been used to construct a history of early Brunei. Boni in Chinese sources refers to probably Borneo as a whole, while Poli 婆利, probably located in Sumatra, is claimed by local authorities to refer to Brunei as well. The earliest diplomatic relations between Borneo (Boni 渤泥) and China are recorded in the Taiping huanyuji太平環宇記 (978).During the rule of Bolkiah, the fifth Sultan, empire expanded to cover almost all of Borneo and parts of the Philippines, mainly the island of Mindanao.[citation needed] Brunei's army consisted of a naval force, many of whom worked as pirates in the South China Sea and the coastal areas of Borneo.[citation needed] The pirates could be summoned by the Sultan whenever they were needed in an expedition. They were also experienced sea captains called the 'Nakhoda'.[citation needed]The earliest recorded documentation by the West about Brunei was by an Italian known as Ludovico di Varthema. Ludovico was at the time on a route to the Maluku Islands when he landed in Borneo and met with the people of Brunei. The record of his documentation dates back to 1550.[citation needed]"We arrived at the island of Bornei (Brunei or Borneo), which is distant from the Maluch about two hundred miles, and we found that it was somewhat larger than the aforesaid and much lower. The people are pagans and are men of goodwill. Their colour is whiter than that of the other sort....in this island justice is well administered..."Brunei lost much of its territory to the neighbouring Kingdom of Sarawak from 1841.[citation needed] Sultan Hashim Jalilul Alam Aqamaddin appealed to the British to stop further encroachment in 1888. The resultant "Treaty of Protection" made Brunei a British protectorate until 1984 when it gained independence.".
