Tunisian historian Ibn Khaldun records that Maghan II succeeded his brother to the throne in 1387, but reigned for only around one year before he was assassinated 1389. Oral histories, however, maintain that he fled to the upper Niger river region, establishing the Hamana branch of the Keita clan.[1]
