Adlan I

Adlan I (reigned 1606 - 1611/12) was a ruler of the Kingdom of Sennar. He was the son of Ayat, although James Bruce writes he was the son of Unsa I and the brother of Abd al-Qadir, whom he deposed and exiled from Sennar. Adlan was, in turn, deposed by his nephew Badi.[1]

During his reign, Sennar was at peace with its neighbor, Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Royal Chronicles mention that Adlan sent a team of fine horses to Emperor Susenyos as gifts.[2]
