A skilled warrior, Queen Amina (1533-1610), our last great woman, ruled the largest city-state, Zazzau (now Zaria), in the Hausa Kingdom (also Hausaland). Her parents were King Nikatau of Zazzau and Queen Bakwa Turunku, and her grandparents were King Sarkin of Nohir and Marka (grandmother). She was the eldest of her siblings, Karama (brother) and Zaria (sister). The family was independently wealthy, her parents trading in kola nuts, salt, imported metals, horses, and cloth. From historical accounts, her parents and grandparents, for that matter, took an active role in shaping her into the woman and the warrior she came to be. Widely known for her skills in battle, Queen Amina accomplished so much more for the people of Zazzau.
In the early 16th century, North Africa witnessed the remarkable ascent of a queen named Aicha. Her extraordinary journey began with the fall of Ottoman rule in Spain, which led to her family’s exile to North Africa. Forced to flee her ancestral home in Granada, a jewel of Spain, Aicha’s life took a dramatic turn due to a power that demanded conformity over her family’s faith. As a child, Aicha bore witness to her parents’ agonizing choice: abandon their stately home and beloved city or forsake their beliefs or face execution.
Aicha blossomed from a young and exiled girl into a radiant princess, and her story took a fateful turn when she married the ruler of Tetouan, ultimately ascending to the throne as the city’s queen.
