All these obligations did not affect the memory of the rulers of Bornu when, after a long succession of civil wars, they at last made good their position on the throne, and, in the person of Ali Ghajideni, who began to reign in 1472, opened a new and glorious epoch of Bornu history. Ali Ghajideni, who built the old capital of Bornu, now known by the name of Birni, three days west of the modern town of Kuka, on Lake Chad, reigned from about 1472 to 1504, and therefore brought the history of Born...u up to the moment of the Songhay conquest of Haussaland. He reformed the government, reorganised the army, and renewed the ancient glory of Bornu. He fought many and successful local wars, and amongst other exploits marched against Kano, where his immediate predecessor had dethroned a weak and incapable ruler. It will be remembered that the Wankor6, or Wan- garawa, were mentioned as having brought Moham- medanism in the thirteenth century to Kano. This people effected a settlement in the Haussa country, and in the fifteenth century the province of Wangara, or Ungara, is described as lying south-easterly of Zamfara s 274 A TROPICAL DEPENDENCY and westerly of Bornu.
