Jamalul Kiram II

The last sultan of Sulu to hold sovereignty (reigned 1894–1915, titular until his death), born Amirul Kiram. He signed the Kiram–Bates Treaty with the United States in 1899, resisted American annexation after its abrogation in 1904, and surrendered sovereignty under the Carpenter Agreement of 1915, keeping his title and his role as head of Islam in Sulu. He later sat in the Philippine Senate (1931–1934) and died at Maimbung in 1936.
