  • Tascalusa ou Tuskaloosa ou Tuskalusa était le chef d'une tribu amérindienne qui livra bataille à l'explorateur espagnol, Hernando de Soto. En langue choctaw, tushka signifie « guerrier » et lusa « noir » donc mot à mot « Guerrier noir ». Le 18 octobre 1540, de Soto et son expédition se retrouvent devant une ville sommairement fortifiée nommée Mavilla ou Mauvila (sans doute proche de l'actuelle ville de Mobile). Un Amérindien converti les avise que la cité est pleine de guerriers et d'armes. L'un de ses capitaines propose à de Soto d'établir un campement à l'extérieur de la cité, mais de Soto refuse, il veut loger à Mavilla. La tribu de Mavilla, commandée par le chef Tascalusa, a préparé une embuscade à l'intérieur de l'enceinte de la ville. Les Espagnols sont piégés et doivent se battre avec ardeur pour s'échapper avant de parvenir à réduire la cité en cendres. La bataille dure neuf heures, dix-huit Espagnols sont tués, cent cinquante des survivants sont blessés, vingt autres mourront encore de leurs blessures lors des semaines suivantes, douze chevaux ont été tués et soixante-dix blessés. Parmi les guerriers indiens, on compte à peu près deux mille cinq cents morts ou mille cent selon d'autres estimations. Tascalusa lui-même périt sans doute dans l'incendie de sa cité. (fr)

His people were possibly ancestors to the several southern Native American confederacies (the Choctaw and Creek peoples) who later emerged in the region. The modern city of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, is named for him. Tuskaloosa is notable for leading the Battle of Mabila at his fortified village against the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto. After being taken hostage by the Spanish as they passed through his territory, Tuskaloosa organized a surprise attack on his captors at Mabila, but was ultimately defeated. Contemporary records describe the paramount chief as being very tall and well built, with some of the chroniclers saying Tuaskaloosa stood a foot and a half taller than the Spaniards. His name, derived from the western Muskogean language elements tashka and losa, means "Black Warrior". [Tuskaloosa]'s appearance was full of dignity he was tall of person, muscular, lean, and symmetrical. He was the suzerain of many territories, and of numerous people, being equally feared by his vassals and the neighbouring nations. — Gentleman of Elvas - Narratives of the Career of Hernando De Soto in the Conquest of Florida , 1557 (en)
