In this time, due he was born Datu Lagasan (Sultan Azimuddin/Alimuddin-I) from his first wife (from Soopeng, Sulawesi) & Raja Muda Datu Bantilan (Sultan Bantilan Muizzuddin) from his second wife (the Tirun Ruler Princess), then the Sulu Sultanate kingdom had 2 heirs. Its a "First & the Second heir apparents". Nowadays, the first heir-apparents known as Kiram & Shakiraullah families. And the second heir apparent known as the Maharajah Adinda families.
· SULTAN BADARUDDIN-I married to the Tirun princess for the purposed want to void the Tirun peoples from against the Sulu Sultanate "Power" in North-Borneo territory. He is the one who's put many "Panglimas" in every corners of the North-Borneo for maintain his power on the territory. The Panglimas of the Sultan of Sulu came from many tribes. Some from Sulu, Iranun, Badjau, Kadazan & other tribes. · The Panglimas duties were collecting the "Tax" from the inhabitants of the North-Borneo territory (*as representatives of the Sultan of Sulu. Collecting "Tax" from the inhabitants of the North-Borneo, made the inhabitants HATED the Sulu Sultanate & the Sultans of Sulu), collecting any material which its could became the "Incomes" of the Sulu Sultanate such as; Bird's Nest, Turtles shell, Pearls & etc. · For example, the "Bird's Nest" in Maddai Caves, Kunak, Sabah was mandated to collected by the Iranun Panglima's . Since then the Iranun peoples generations in the area till present day still continuing collecting the "Bird's Nest" from the Maddai Caves.
Anyway, by the "LOST" of the "SULTAN OF SULU", the Iranun peoples in the area just collecting the Bird's Nest for their benefits only. (*Anyway, there was the "Appointed-Letter" was given to the Irunan Panglima's from the Sultan of Sulu, as installation of him as panglima & his duties in North-Borneo. This "Letter's" must be still kept by the present Iranun Panglima's generations). The Sulu Sultanate Protocol System (The Tartib) then need to ROTATES the Sulu throne among the first & the second heir apparents. "The Succession", please refer to; Muslims in the Philippines (Sulu Political Institution) by Cesar Abib Majul -Page 398-399). And the Sulu throne should not be MONOPOLIED or OCCUPIED by ONE side heirs only.
The Reigned Of Sultan Muhammad Fadl Pulalun
In September 1862, Sultan Pulalun died. The throne was offered to his uncle DATU ARANAN, from the Maharajah Adinda families, He sat on the Sulu throne for a week only & using the title name as "Maharajah Adinda Sultan Mohammad Aranan/Adanan Puyo" . That's why in Sulu he was known as "Sultan Daih-daih". Mean, the shortest reigned Sultan of Sulu. And due to that, his name was not listed on the Sulu Sultanate genealogy, due to not enough 40 day of reigned, as the protocol needed).
Thus was the sultanate offered to Jamalul-Azam, a son of Pulalun. Datu Daniel, the Amir Bahar, and whose cotta in Jolo once gave the Spaniard a great deal of trouble in Jolo Campaign in 1851, contested the succession. The datu desired to have his son-in-law, Datu Jamalul-Kiram, a grandson of Sultan Shakiraullah to become a sultan. But Datu Aranan INTERVENTION in the matter as well as Spaniard refusal to show any sympathy for Datu Daniel's cause, led the majority of the datus to proclaim Jamalul-Azam as Sultan, (Refer to; Muslims in the Philippines -Page 343-344).
Do anybody AWARE, that because of Datu Aranan intervention, Datu Jamalu-Azam succeeded to proclaimed as Sultan of Sulu in 1862. And from that matter, when he signing the 1878 North-Borneo "Padjak=Leasing" Agreement, he was using the words term "The heirs AND successors" 4 times in the agreement, NOT the words term as "The heirs OR successors", (Refer to: Nicholas Tarling, Sulu And Sabah -Page 329). The words term was for LIMITED the claimants over the North-Borneo territory in future. And the right claimant's should be truly came from the Sulu Sultanate royal families as "The heirs" & in the same time can be "The successors" to the Sulu sultanate throne, by following the Sulu Sultanate Protocol System (The Tartib). By the using the words term "The heirs AND successors" in the 1878 North Borneo Leasing/Padjak Agreement, showed that Sultan Jamalul-Azam want the Maharajah Adinda families to inherits the rights over the North Borneo territory in future. That's also showed his compensation to his relative grandfather's (Datu Aranan) for his kindness till Datu Jamalul-Azam succeeded to be the Sultan of Sulu in 1862.
So, by the death of Sultan Badaruddin-II in 1884, or by the death of Sultan Jamalu-Kiram-II in 1936, which both of the Sultan had "No male heir" (Refer; Nicholas Tarling, Sulu And Sabah -Page 327 & from the PAWCI Record's), then supposedly on that times, the Sulu throne should be given back to the Maharajah Adinda families. Unfortunately, till present the first heir-apparents (Kiram & Shakiraullah families) still want to "Monopolied & Occupied" the Sulu throne. (Their action were totally against the Sulu Protocol System=The Tartib of Sulu. Due to misunderstood of the Sulu protocol system, then there were emerged so many proclaimed "Sultans" in Sulu till present day).

During The Reigned Of Sultan Badaruddin-I
In this time, due he was born Datu Lagasan (Sultan Azimuddin/Alimuddin-I) from his first wife (from Soopeng, Sulawesi) & Raja Muda Datu Bantilan (Sultan Bantilan Muizzuddin) from his second wife (the Tirun Ruler Princess), then the Sulu Sultanate kingdom had 2 heirs.

(*Anyway, there was the "Appointed-Letter" was given to the Irunan Panglima's from the Sultan of Sulu, as installation of him as panglima & his duties in North-Borneo. This "Letter's" must be still kept by the present Iranun Panglima's generations). The Sulu Sultanate Protocol System (The Tartib) then need to ROTATES the Sulu throne among the first & the second heir apparents. "The Succession", please refer to; Muslims in the Philippines (Sulu Political Institution) by Cesar Abib Majul -Page 398-399). And the Sulu throne should not be MONOPOLIED or OCCUPIED by ONE side heirs only.

In September 1862, Sultan Pulalun died. The throne was offered to his uncle DATU ARANAN, from the Maharajah Adinda families, He sat on the Sulu throne for a week only & using the title name as "Maharajah Adinda Sultan Mohammad Aranan/Adanan Puyo" .
