The early modern Warri Kingdom had connections to the wider Lusophone world and Europe through the diplomatic missions and migrations of its princes. The Warri Kingdom&#8217;s dynasty is composed of twenty-one olus (kings) with the most recent olu being crowned in 2021. This paper examines the biographies of three successive olus who reigned between the late-sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries and approaches the lives of these olus as a coeval prism through which to view and better understand the entanglements of religion, commerce, and elite migration.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[Resumo Este artigo analisa como a realeza africana mudou como consequência de interações transculturais por causa da presença portuguesa nos séculos XVI e XVII na delta do Rio Níger no Golfo da Guiné. O reino de Warri, no início da Idade Moderna, matinha ligações com o mundo lusófono e a Europa através de missões diplomáticas e as migrações dos seus príncipes. A dinastia Warri é composta de vinte e um olus (reis), sendo que o mais recente foi coroado em 2021. Este artigo olha para as biografias de três olus sucessivos que reinaram entre o fim do século XVI e os meados do século XVII, e aborda as vidas destes olus por um prisma contemporâneo para melhor entender os entrelaçamentos de religião, comércio e migração de elites.]]></p></abstract>
