Kplinga

Kplinga's reign increased the size of the kingdom. He killed the chief of the Popo[?] people, Agbamou[?], thus extending the empire into what is currently Togo. He destroyed the villages of Ekpe[?] and Badagry[?] (in what is now Nigeria), which were interfering with Dahomey's regional monopoly on the slave trade. His main symbol is the akpan bird[?], a trade gun (flintlocks[?] became the standard issue to the Dahomean army during his reign), and an Amazon striking her head against a tree (a reference to a humorous war story stemming from one of his military campaigns).

Kplinga was succeeded by Agonglo.
