I've done a net search of this kingdom and all I can find is that in 1489,

Also, wasn't Bithynia bequeathed to Rome by Nicomedes IV? Although under
circumstances, I'm not at all clear. I do it was the immediate causus belli
of the Third Mithradatic War with Pontus.

And Ptolemy Apion, the last king of independent Cyrenaica, left Cyrene to
the Romans.

And I think Rudolph III bequeathed his Burgundian kingdom of Arles to
Emperor Conrad II, a fact which hardly kept France from incorporating most
of the territory eventually. Again, my understand is decidedly limited here
so corrections are as always welcome.

And then there was the somewhat different example of Edward the Confessor,
who may or may not have bequeathed England to Harold Godwinsson regardless
of any earlier promises to William of Normandy.

We also have the interesting case of Alfonso of Aragon who left Aragon and
Navarre to the Templars and the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, a will
universally disregarded.

the King of Bemobi gave his realms to the King of Portugal and converted to
Christianity.

Does anyone know where Bemobi is and who was King in 1489?

Try looking at Rulers.org - for most contemporary African countries, they
list the rulers of the traditional polities.
