The Battle of Feyiase was the decisive battle in the struggle that led to the Ashanti Empire replacing Denkyira as the dominant power among the Twi-speaking Akan peoples. During the battle, the Denkyira army deployed 2 or 3 Dutch cannons while the Ashanti had limited access to firearms. Prior to this battle the Denkyirahene Ntim Gyakari believed he was doing well in the war, having driven the Ashanti forces from Adunku, Abuontem and Aputuogya. However, this was all part of Osei Tutu's plan to ambush the Denkyira troops at Feyiase.

During the battle, the Denkyira army deployed 2 or 3 Dutch cannons while the Ashanti had limited access to firearms. Prior to this battle the Denkyirahene Ntim Gyakari believed he was doing well in the war, having driven the Ashanti forces from Adunku, Abuontem and Aputuogya. However, this was all part of Osei Tutu's plan to ambush the Denkyira troops at Feyiase. At Feyiase, the full force of the Asante war machine fell upon the Denkyiran army, and they were routed. Ntim Gyakari was killed by the people of Adunku from Asante Feyiase and Denkyira's cannons were captured by the Ashanti. Denkyira's hegemony was broken at Feyiase Akoyem.

  • La bataille de Feyiase est livrée en novembre 1701 au Ghana, à une quinzaine de kilomètres de Kumasi, lors de la guerre qui oppose le royaume denkyira et les Ashantis (ou Asantes). Les Ashantis, commandés par Osei Toutou et qui contestent l'hégémonie des Denkyira, remportent une victoire décisive sur leurs adversaires, dont le roi, Ntim Gyakari, est tué lors des combats. À la suite de cette victoire, Osei Tutu fonde avec le grand prêtre Okomfo Anokye, son principal conseiller, l'empire Ashanti. Feyiase marque aussi la disparition du royaume Denkyira comme État indépendant; ses territoires sont annexés par les Ashantis et sa population asservie par les vainqueurs. Les Denkyiras essaient de regagner leur liberté par la force en 1711 mais leur rébellion est écrasée. (fr)
