Person
Jamalul Alam
Jamalul Alam was sultan of Sulu from 1862 to 1881. In January 1878 he granted North Borneo to Baron Gustav von Overbeck and Alfred Dent in return for an annual payment, an agreement later taken over by the British North Borneo Company. Whether it was a lease or a cession underlies the Philippine claim to Sabah. In 1878 he also accepted Spanish sovereignty after Spain took Jolo.
