===Independence and Amary Ngone===
In 1549, the [[damel]] (''dammeel'' in [[Wolof language|Wolof]],<ref>Papa Samba Diop, ''Glossaire du roman sénégalais'', L'Harmattan, Paris, 2010, p. 140-143</ref> often translated into European languages as "king") [[Dece Fu Njogu]], having failed to send tribute to the ''Buurba'' Léléfoulifak for several years, sent his son [[Amary Ngone Sobel Fall]] to do so. Amary, aided by his uncle the [[Teigne]] of [[Baol]], led an army to a lake called Danki, and left them there to go to the ''Buurba'''s court with a small escort. Poorly received by Léléfoulifak, he announced that his country had no need of a leader such as that. The Jolof-Jolof pursued them back to Danki, where the Cayor forces routed them and killed Léléfoulifak.<ref name = Fall/>{{rp|9}}

The [[battle of Danki]] marked the end of the Jolof Empire's hold over Cayor. In the ensuing celebrations [[Dece Fu Njogu]] was killed in an accident, and [[Amary Ngone Sobel Fall|Amary Ngone]] became damel. His uncle died soon afterwards, and he thus became the first Damel-Teigne ruling over both Cayor and Baol.<ref name = Fall/>{{rp|10}} He proclaimed a new constitution for the kingdom and founded a new, more centrally located capital at Mboul. In the years after his accession Jolof invaded several times attempting to re-assert their hegemony but were defeated. They would not dare to attack Cayor again until Amary's death, after a 44-year reign.<ref name = Fall/>{{rp|11}}
