Shah Berunai
Shah Berunai (died 1582 ) was the eighth Sultan of Brunei according to official census. He only ruled for a year. He came to the throne in 1581 when his father Saiful Rijal died.
Berunai died in 1582 without any male descendants. His younger brother Pengiran Muda Tengah Muhammad Hassan succeeded him to the throne. During his reign he built a cannon to defend Brunei against the attacks of the Spaniards from Manila , who had their headquarters there during the Spanish campaign against Borneo and Brunei (Perang Kastila; Jawi: ڤراڠ كستيلا; Spanish: Expedición española a Borneo) .
At that time, the Sultanate of Brunei ruled the entire north and east coast of Borneo and was thus the immediate neighbor of the Spanish colonial expansion in the Philippines.
