Songhai's Royal Harem: Della Kebda and Political Marriage
This episode explores the political machinery of Songhai through the lens of Della Kebda, Askia Muhammad’s wife. We examine how royal marriages forged alliances with Katsina and Agadez, stabilizing the empire’s northern borders. The conversation details the role of the Maliki scholars in regulating these unions and how Della Kebda influenced provincial governance from within the palace walls.
