Gbudwe was the Azande King in South Sudan in 1870 - 1905. His real name was Mbio, which means "a kind of small antelope", but he renamed himself "Gbudwe", also known as Gbudue, meaning "to tear out a man's intestines". ==Description== Edward Evan Evans-Pritchard quotes a description of King Gbudwe of the Azande: "King Gbudwe was a short man, though not excessively short... he was stout also... His breasts protruded like those of a woman... His eyes were little protruding eyes, and they sparkled like stars. When he looked at a man in anger they were terrible; then they went grey like ashes... When he approached people from afar you could not mistake King Gbudwe. He was a marvelous prince." He was unusual among Azande kings in preferring to lead from the front, and as a young man he often took part in the fighting in person. He possessed a magic whistle, which was said to guarantee victory if blown before a battle. He encouraged his men to eat the Arabs they killed, although cannibalism was probably not normal Azande practice, and is recorded as having derived great amusement from a present consisting of a bag filled with the severed genitals of his enemies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gbudwe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
