The Asantehene is the title for the monarch of the historical Ashanti Empire as well as the ceremonial ruler of the Ashanti people today. The Ashanti royal house traces its line to the Oyoko (an Abusua, or "clan") Abohyen Dynasty of Nana Twum and the Oyoko Dynasty of Ɔsɛe Tutu Ɔpemsoɔ, who formed the Empire of Ashanti in 1701 and was crowned Asantehene (King of all Asante).
