While still the Crown Prince of Luzon and the grand admiral for the King of Brunei, Aki married a princess of Brunei in 1521. He was the King of Luzon in 1570 when his nephew, the heir apparent (raja muda) Sulayman together with Banaw, Lakan Dula, the lord of Tondo,[2] engaged in a battle with the Martin de Goiti naval detachment to Luzon augmented by Cebuano military volunteers and part of the Legaspi expedition of Spain commissioned from New Spain to find the Maluku Islands. This battle resulted in the fall of Manila and the capture of 13 pieces of Luzonian artillery.[1][4][2]
