Mansa Musa

Musa I (c. 1280 – c. 1337 ), or Mansa Musa, was the tenth Mansa (a military title meaning conqueror[2] or emperor[3][4][5][6][7]) of the Mali Empire, an Islamic West African state.

At the time of Musa's ascension to the throne, Mali in large part consisted of the territory of the former Ghana Empire, which Mali had conquered. The Mali Empire consisted of land that is now part of Guinea, Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia and the modern state of Mali. During his reign, Musa held many titles, such as Emir of Melle, Lord of the Mines of Wangara, and Conqueror of Ghanata.[8]
