How do child monarchs rule?
When a monarch like King Oyo ascends to the throne as a child, a regent typically rules on their behalf until they reach adulthood. This guardian, often a close family member, handles the responsibilities of the kingdom, ensuring continuity and stability while the young monarch is prepared for their future role.
