Maissa Bigué Ngoné Fall
Maissa Bigué Ngoné Fall or Ma Isa Bige Ngone Fall was the King of the Wolof Kingdom of Cayor during the 18th century. Cayor is now part of modern Senegal. He reigned as Damel from 1748—1749 and again from 1758—1759. In 1759, the Bourba Jolof Birayamb Ma-Dyigen Ndaw Njie defeated Maissa Bigué in battle and exiled him. However, his victory was short-lived, because the following year, Maissa Bigué returned and defeated the King of Jolof, killing him in battle. Maissa Bigué belonged to the reigning Fall patrilineage and the "Guedj maternal dynasty" of Cayor and Baol, and a direct maternal descendant of the Serer noble Lingeer Ngoné Dièye, matriach of the Guedj Dynasty who was originally from Saloum.
