Kure II Kura

Kure II, called Kura (the Elder), was a son of mai Abdullah II Kademi and the elder brother of Kure I Gana. In about 1327 he succeeded Kure I, who had been killed fighting the Sao of Bornu south of Lake Chad. Two of his brothers, Selema III and Kure I, had already died in the same rising.

After a short reign Kure II was also defeated and slain by the Sao at Ghaliwa, the very site where Kure I had fallen. He was succeeded by another brother, Muhammad I Kure.
