List of sultans of Brunei
The Sultan of Brunei is the monarchial head of state of Brunei and head of government in his capacity as Prime Minister of Brunei. Since independence from the British in 1984, only one Sultan has reigned, though the royal institution dates back to the 14th century.
The Sultan of Brunei can be thought of as synonymous with the ruling House of Bolkiah, with generations being traced from the first sultan, temporarily interrupted by the 13th Sultan, Abdul Hakkul Mubin, who in turn was deposed by a member of the House of Bolkiah. The Sultan's full title is: His Majesty The Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam.Sultans
