Central Mossi country, White Volta basin
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
Wagadugu was a central Mossi kingdom whose ruling dynasty was founded by Naaba Wubri at the end of the fifteenth century. From Wubritenga, Wubri extended authority eastward and north-eastward, while his successors continued the kingdom's westward influence. The kingdom brought most local divisions of the central region under one command and remained part of the wider Mossi political expansion across the Volta basin.

Le récit
Naaba Wubri founded the ruling dynasty of Wagadugu at the end of the fifteenth century. The extract gives 1495 as a formal hypothesis for the political appearance of Wubri, while noting that his reign effectively covered the beginning of the sixteenth century. The chronology rests on genealogical calculations whose generation lengths vary between fifteen and thirty years.
Wubri took possession of the region of Zinyare, which thereafter bore the name Wubritenga. His arrival was associated with the ending of continuous warfare among the indigenous peoples of the area. From Wubritenga he extended his authority eastward and north-eastward, fought the people of Lay, and reached Yako and Kudugo, where Mossi local commands already existed.
At Wubri's death, the kingdom included nearly all the local divisions of the central region under a single command. His successors continued the process of expansion, especially westward. During the reign of Naaba Nasbiire, the royal capital was La, the place where Wubri had died, while other descendants founded or controlled commands such as Gamboco and Giti.
