Askia Daoud (also Askia Dawud) was ruler of the Songhai Empire from 1549 to 1582. Daoud came to power unopposed following the death of his brother Askia Ishaq I in 1549. The Empire continued to expand under Daoud’s rule and saw little internal strife. He organised a series of military campaigns against tributary territories of his large empire.
