Daoud

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daoud was the half brother of Idris 1. After the death of Idris, a struggle for the throne began. Daoud was chosen as Mai against his competitors, the sons of Idris. This left the sons dejected and bitter, they waged war against Daoud and his supporters which led to a century of successive conflicts between the Idrisus and the Daouds. It is believed the conflict may have weakened the Sefuwa dynasty and made it vulnerable to external attacks.
