TIDORE<br />

Valentijn mentions the names of only two rulers during this period for Tidore, namely<br />

Nureddin and Hassan Syah, who were said to have ruled in 1343 and 1372, respectively. If<br />

this record is correct, they certainly did not bear the title of Sultan, which, at <strong>Ternate</strong>, most<br />

probably arose only after they had converted to Islam. The Portuguese sources, quoted by<br />

de Jonge (1872-1875, III:175) seem to date the introduction of Islam to Tidore at about<br />

1430.<br />

N.B. For the way in which the names of these rulers are written in Arabic characters, see<br />

the list that follows. The syin is shown as “s” since this letter is almost always pronounced<br />

as such.<br />
