Reign of Alafin Amodo; campaigns preceding fall of Oyo

After the death or abdication of Alafin Majotu c. 1830/1, Amodo reigned briefly. Law rejects Adeyemi's tradition that Amodo reigned only five months, arguing that Johnson's narrative of several campaigns under Amodo requires placing his death and Oluewu's accession as late as c. 1833–4. The empire was by this time in its final military crisis against Ilorin.
