In 1370 Emperor send as envoys to Pu-ni. The king is called Maha Mosa, was haugty and did not show them any politeness. At that time the country had been loundered by those of sulu so that it was weak and poor and the king excused himself on this account, asking permission to bring tribute after 3 years.

Now this country had hitherto belonged to Java... By 1373, Puni envoys went together with the Chinese back to the imperaial court. In 1375, the Emperor ordered that the mountains and streams fo this country to be included in the sacrifices to the mountain and streams fo the province of Fukien.

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)
