Pengiran Muhammad Salleh, known as Pengiran Indera Mahkota, was born at the end of the eighteenth century and grew up in Sambas, on Borneo. Sent by the sultan of Brunei to Sarawak, he governed there in the sultanate's name and developed the antimony trade there, until James Brooke removed him in 1842 and took the title of raja. Having returned to Brunei, he later received the title of Pengiran Shahbandar and was among the most influential men at court. He died in 1858.
