If during Wanli Period (1573-1619), the the Sultans reigning during that time are:
7) Saiful Rizal (r.1533-1581)
8) Shah Brunei (r.1581-1582)
9) Md. Hassan (r.1582-1598)
10) Abdul J. Akbar (r.1598-1659)
The Queen who ruled Brunei at that could probably be Raja Dungu, the daughter of Saiful Rizal who thought before the birth that Raja Dungu was a boy. Raja Dungu was married to Pg. Bendahara Pg. Mohammad and their son became Sultan Abdul Mubin, 13th in the genelogy (r.1661-1673)
