Denianke Dynasty

The Denianke Dynasty or Denyanke Dynasty ruled the Empire of Great Fulo from the 16th century into the late 18th century. It was a Fula Dynasty established by Dengalla Koli in 1513. Unlike the later Fula pre-colonial states of Futa Toro, Futa Jallon and Massina, the Denianke dynasty followed a traditional African religion. This led them into conflict with the increasingly Muslim subjects of the realm, leading to their overthrow in 1776.
