Résumé anglais Y. Person — ~~Chronology of the Gun Kingdom of Hogbonu (Porto-Novo)~~. The received chronology of the Hogbonu kingdom. is generally based upon the work of Akindele Akinsomon (1911), which proceeded from Marshall (c. 1880). Yet there is a marked discrepancy between this chronology and the king-list of the Agasuvi dynasty. A careful crosscheck of Hogbonu tradition with the oral history of neighbouring states as well as European documents leads to updating the foundation of the kingdom by about half a century: c. 1724 instead of 1688 for the founder's accession.
