Principal Events during the Reign of each King. 
A very important, but rather unfortunate 
reign, bearing the germs of the expulsion 
of the Bornu dynasty from Kanem, their 
original seat, and of the transference of 
their residence to Bornu. The successful 
aggressors were the Bulala (as the name is 
written in the chronicle), or rather Bulala 
(as Imam A'hmed constantly writes it, and 
as the name is pronounced generally), who, 
originating from a branch line of the royal 
family of Kanem, by their forefather Jil 
Shikomemi (a son of Dunama Dibalami?), 
had founded a powerful principality in the 
territory of Fittri ("the lake"), over the nu- 
merous tribes of the Kuka (Leo's Craoga). 
As to the period of the rise of this dynasty, 
we have the distinct testimony of Imam 
A'hmed, that it was after the time of Du- 
nama Dibalami.* 
Weakened by a civil war with one or more 
of his sons, who, having been beaten, seem 
to have taken refuge with the pagans of 
the tribe of Ghammuwa, where Edris Ala- 
woma found their progeny, Daud ben Nikale 
was driven out of Njimiye, the old capital, 
and finally killed by 'Abd el Jelil, the 
Bulala king. 
Seems to have waged the war with the Bu- 
lala at first with some success, and even to 
have retaken Njimiye, when he likewise suc- 
cumbed. He, as well as his successor, be- 
came known to Makrizi. 
Sustained the struggle for two years, when 
he met the same fate as his uncle and his 
cousin. During this time there was a 
prince in Hausa, or Afunu, called Mastur, 
in a certain degree of dependency on Ka- 
nem. (Makrizi.) 
Was killed by the Bulala, after a reign of 
few months.
