Kingdom of Nri

948 – 1911
KingdomAfrica

Theocratic Igbo polity led by the priest-king Eze Nri, source of the Igbo-Ukwu bronzes.

The Kingdom of Nri had lost most political authority by the late 19th century due to the spread of Christianity and colonial rule; the British formally ended the Eze Nri's ritual authority c. 1911, though the Nri kingship continues today in a ceremonial role within Anambra State, Nigeria.
