The following is a list of rulers of Nri. The title of the ruler of Nri is eze Nri. The eze held religious and political authority over the Kingdom of Nri in a fashion comparable with that of the pope. The Nri culture is believed to stretch back to around the 10th century, however, its recorded kings goes back to the early 13th century. The power of the eze Nri and the kingdom as a whole ended in 1911 with the last independent monarch being forced to submit to British rule at gunpoint. Nevertheless, the title of eze Nri has survived into the 21st century.

Before being crowned, he could not have a living father. The potential eze Nri also had to prove he was the choice of God (Chukwu), Eri (founder of Nri), the ancestors ("ndiichie") and spirits (alusi) through revelations and visions confirmed by diviners. After this, he had to travel to Aguleri to obtain a lump of clay from the bottom of the Anambra River used to make the ritual pot (odudu) for the shrine to Nri Menri.[1] After various other rituals such as causing the magical ripening of a fruit palm and undergoing a ritual burial and reviving, the eze Nri was proclaimed and saluted as igwe (meaning "heavenly one").[2] Reigns It is difficult to trace the exact dates for an individual eze Nri, because there was an interregnum after each one's death. During this time, the priests of the eze Nri waited for someone to manifest the signs indicating they were the next priest-king.[3] List of recorded Eze Nri Eri period Name Portrait Birth Marriages Death Eri 948-1041[4] Post Eri period Name Portrait Birth Marriages Death Eze Nri Ìfikuánim 1043-1089[4] Eze Nri Nàmóke 1090-1158[4] Diodo Eze Nri Buífè 1159-1259 [4] Obeagụ Unified Ọfọ N’alọ Agukwu and Diodo Eze Nri Ọmalọ 1260–1299 [4] Uruọji Eze Nri Jiọfọ I 1300-1390 [4] Uruọji Eze Nri Ọmalonyeso 1391-1464 [4] Obeagu Eze Nri Anyamata 1465-1511 [4] Uruọji Eze Nri Fenenu 1512-1582 [4] Agbadana Eze Nri Agụ 1583-1676 [4] Obeagu Eze Nri Apia and Nri–Alike 1677-1700 [4] Both from Uruọji Both died the same day Eze Nri Ezimilo 1701-1723 [4] Agbadana Assassinated[5] Eze Nri Èwenétem 1724-1794 [4] Agbadana Eze Nri Ènweleána I 1795-1886 [4] Obeagu Eze Nri Òbalíke 1889-1936 [4] Uruoji Post decline Name Portrait Birth Marriages Death Eze Nri Jiọfọ II Taabansi Udene 1937-1987 [4] Agbadana Eze Nri Ènweleána II Obidiegwu Onyeso (MFR) 1988-current [4] Obeagu See also Kingdom of Nri Eze Igbo-Ukwu Footnotes ^ Uzukwu, page 98 ^ Uzukwu, page 99 ^ Isichei, page 246 ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q Onwuejeogwu, M.
