 The Guelowars were extended maternal relatives of the Ñaanco and one of their greatest threat to the throne.Henry Gravrand reported an oral tradition describing what he called the "Battle of Troubang", a dynastic war between the two maternal royal houses of Ñaanco and the Guelowar,an off-shot and relatives of the "Ñaanco" ("Nyanthio" or "Nyanco") maternal dynasty of Kaabu, in modern-day Guinea Bissau.Here Gravrand has not noticed that this is actually a description of the 1867 (or 1865) Battle of Kansala although the departure of the Guelowar can probably be explained by a war or a conflict of succession.
