Biography

Muhammad Kanzul Alam was born in Brunei to Omar Ali Saifuddin I, who was the ruler from 1740 to 1778.[1][2]

In 1807, he was declared Sultan of Brunei, three years subsequent to his half-brother, Muhammad Taijuddin, who was his predecessor.[3][1] He ruled until his death in 1826, although was said to have been "virtually powerless" towards the end of his reign as his son Pangiran Muda Muhammad Alam accumulated influence over national affairs.[1][2]
