Mọ́remí Àjàsorò, was a figure of high significance in the history of the Yorùbá peopl. She was a member-by-marriage of the royal family of Odùduwà, the legendary founder of the Yorùbá. The Olori Mọ́remí lived between the 13-15th century, hailed from Offa, and was believed to be married to Ọbàlùfọ̀n, the then king of Ilé-Ifẹ̀. Ifẹ̀ was at war with an adjoining tribe who were known to them as the Forest people (Ùgbò). Scores of Ifẹ̀ citizens were being enslaved by these people, and because of this they were generally regarded with disdain by the Yoruba city-states. Mọ́remí was a very brave and beautiful woman who, in order to deal with the problem facing her people, offered anything she had to give in sacrifice to the spirit of the river Ẹ̀sìnmìrìn so that she could discover the strength of her nation's enemies. She is said to have been taken as a slave by the Ùgbò and, due to her beauty, married their ruler as his anointed queen. After familiarizing herself with the secrets of her new husband's army, she escaped to Ile-Ife and revealed this to the Yorùbá who were able to subsequently defeat them in battle.
