Ahmad Tajuddin

The 27th Sultan of Brunei (1924–1950), eldest surviving son of Muhammad Jamalul Alam II. He came to the throne aged eleven under a regency council, was installed in 1931 and crowned in 1940; oil was found at Seria in 1929, early in his reign. He pressed for greater financial and political autonomy from Britain, remained sultan through the Japanese occupation (1941–1945) with his authority limited to custom and Islamic affairs, and died in Singapore in June 1950, succeeded by his younger brother Omar Ali Saifuddien III.
