The Royal House of Jogo Siga Joof (Serer : Mbin Jogo Siga Juuf or Mbind Jogo Siga,[4] other variation : Keur Diogo Siga, etc.) was the second royal house founded by the Joof family during the Guelowar dynastic period of Sine.[1][5] The Guelowar period commences from c. 1350 during the reign of Maad a Sinig Maysa Wali[6][7] and ends in 1969 following the deaths of the last Serer kings of Sine and Saloum (Maad a Sinig Mahecor Joof and Maad Saloum Fode N'Gouye Joof respectively) and the disestablishment of the monarchies in Serer countries.[2][3] The pre-colonial Kingdom of Sine now lies within present-day Senegal.
