King Ghenzo de Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries will fight against enemies that violated his honor, enslaved their people and threatened to destroy everything for what Ghezo had lived was a son Rey Agonglo to whom, at birth he was named Gakpe and was a younger brother of Adondondz. When Agonglo died, there was a succession struggle among his children before they adapt was enthroned. An oral tradition that developed during the Ghezo government to delete adapt from official history says that they were simply appointed regent and that he refused to resign in favor of Ghezo when he was old enough, but historians generally doubt it. He replaced his brother Adondondzan as a king through a coup d'etat with the help of the Brazilian slave trafficker Francisco Félix de Sousa.
