The legendary Battle of Manila in 1258 (Filipino: Labanan sa Maynila) is recounted in oral histories of the Tagalog people, as documented by Filipino historians Mariano Henson in the 1950s[1] and Cesar Adib Majul in the 1950s.[2] It is notable for marking one of the earliest proposed dates for the foundation of the pre-colonial polity at Maynila.[2]
According to these legends, a Bruneian naval commander named Rajah Ahmad, established pre-colonial Maynila as a Muslim principality in 1258 after defeating its commander, a Majapahit ruler named Anuj Avirjirkaya.[1]
