Maad Saloum


Maad Saloum means king of Saloum, in the Serer language.
The ancient Kingdom of Saloum now part of present-day Senegal was a pre-colonial Serer kingdom. Their kings bore the title Maad or Mad. The royal title was sometimes used interchangeably with that of their ancient kings and landed gentry, the lamanes.
From 1493 to 1969, forty-nine kings were crowned Maad. Mbegan Ndour was the first Serer king from the Guelowar maternal clan to have reigned in Saloum, beginning c. 1493. Maad Saloum Fode N'Gouye Joof was the last king of Saloum. He reigned from 1935 to his death in 1969.
