6 The Bonohene Berempon Katakyira was enstooled in 1564. In his early reign, Mande warriors, beaten in battle by the neighbouring Begho people, sought safety in Bono-Manso; others under their commander Naba'a went to Bona (Ivory Coast) but were expelled after quarrels and drifted into western Gonja. There, Naba'a with local help soon made himself king, in 1566/7 according to the Kanankulaiwura's manuscript, according to the Kitāb Ghunja in 1550. Again the first two dates seem in agreement and 1550 too early.
