Randomly came across this when I was trying to figure out if the official spelling of Icelandic folk band Amiina has one ‘i’ or two (it was two):
Amina Mohamud (also called Aminatu) was a Hausa Muslim Warrior Queen of Zazzau (now Zaria), in what is now north central Nigeria.[1] She is the subject of many legends, but is widely believed by historians to have been a real ruler, though contemporary evidence about her is limited. There is controversy among scholars as to the date of her reign, one school placing her in the mid-15th century, and a second placing her reign in the mid to late 16th century.
Check out the Wikipedia article here. It’s brief but kind of fasctinating!
