'''Mansa Musa''' was king of the [[Mali]] empire from 1312 to 1337.  He was a devoted Muslim and a benefactor of [[Islam]]ic studies. Mansa Musa is famous for his extravagant [[Hajj]]; when Musa passed through Cairo, he was reportedly accompanied by thousands of people and a hundred camels, and gave out so much gold that the North African economy took over a decade to recover from the ensuing inflation.
