context_page_description: Boheyat was the third Sultan of Ternate in Maluku, whose largely nominal reign lasted from 1521 to 1529. In his time the Portuguese strengthened their positions in Ternate.
context_section_description: The regent Kaicili Darwis was an important ally of the Portuguese for several years. He balanced the influence of the Queen Mother from Tidore, who had ambitions to unite Tenate and Tidore under one of her sons and had some support in both places. However, Darwis fell out with the new captain Jorge de Menese who arrived in 1527. Menese grossly insulted the religious feelings of the Muslim Ternatans and treated even aristocrats with utter contempt. In this tense situation, Boheyat died, still an adolescent, in 1529, after having spent his reign as the virtual prisoner of the Portuguese. There were suspicions about his death being due to poisoning. He was succeeded by his full brother Dayal, under whom the relation between Menese and Darwis came to a complete rift.
