User:Alternativity/sandbox/Rulers and nobles in early Tagalog history

This article covers the various Tagalog rulers and persons of nobility who lived during early Philippine history and prehistory, including individuals who have been described in firsthand historical accounts, as well as those only mentioned in surviving oral literature.

The early history of the Tagalog people formally began with the creation of the Philippines' earliest surviving written document, the Laguna Copperplate Inscription (LCI) in 900 C.E., and formally ended with the founding of the City of Maynila by Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1572. Additionally, this formal "early historic" period overlaps with what has been called the Philippines' "protohistory" - a period characterized by extensive archeological finds dated to as far back as the 14th century, which was the point of reference for scholars of early Philippine history prior to the discovery of the LCI.
