It had a powerful king known as Otumfuo Osei Tutu I,the Asantehene. Osei Tutu I had a niece called Abena Poku. After some unrest Abena Poku and her people settled in the area between the Comoe and Bandama rivers in the eastern part of the Ivory Coast and founded a kingdom of their own with Abena Poku as the first queen. Her kingdom became known as the Baoulé Kingdom. Abena Poku thus founded a dynasty which has survived to date.
