The existing literatures, published articles in academia, books, journals and press releases do not speak about the lines of genealogy of the fifteen sultans of the fifteen pagawidan (supported) states of the Lanao Sultanate in the 17th century, hence, this is a research and literature gap. Meanwhile, the said lines of genealogy are little represented in the existing unpublished literatures in the Philippines and more broadly in other countries’ academia. This explains why there is a huge research gap on this particular topic. To fill in this research and literature gap, this paper will explore in-dept the lines of genealogy of the fifteen sultans of the fifteen supported states of the Lanao Sultanate in the said century using the first ever original Meranaw authored genealogy of the founders of Lanao Sultanate called locally as Pat-a-Pangampong sa Ranao.
