Mir of Tidore

Sultan Mir (Jawi: سلطان مير‎); or Amiruddin Iskandar Dulkarna'in (امير الدين اسکندر ذوالقرنين‎; c. 1511 ― 1550s) was the third Sultan of Tidore in Maluku Islands. He had a long and troubled reign from 1526 to the 1550s where he tried to counter the hegemonic ambitions of the Portuguese and their Ternate allies. The global rivalries between Spain and Portugal characterized the period, and the two Iberian powers indiscriminately involved the spice sultanates Tidore and Ternate in their power game.
