Hummay

Hummay (Umme, Houmé or Hume) was the first Muslim mai (king) and second mai overall of the Sefuwa dynasty within Kanem-Bornu Empire from 1085 to 1097, replacing the Sefuwa-Duguwa dynasty.

The dynasty was to survive until 1846. His rule had important consequences because of the spread of Islam during his reign. This provoked some dissension, causing the toubou to break from the empire and move east. He performed the hajj twice, but died in Egypt during his third voyage, while accompanied by his son and successor Dunama I.
