Abstract: 

The Funj Sultanate was the most easterly of the chain of Muslim dynastic States which at one time stretched south of the Sahara through Bilad al-Sudan. Founded early in the sixteenth Christian century (tenth Hijri¯; century) by a king traditionally called ‘Amara Dunqas, its centre was on the Blue Nile, around the town of Sennar (Sinnar).
