Mansa Qu

Mansa of the Mali Empire

Qu (also transliterated Gao) was Mansa of the Mali Empire between 1300 and 1305.[1]

Qu was one of two sons of Kolonkan, a sister of the legendary founder Sundiata Keita.[citation needed] Qu assumed the throne following the murder of the usurper Sakura on his return from the hajj. He ruled until 1305, when he was succeeded by his son Mohammad ibn Qu.
