Was a Guanche native kingdom that controlled the whole island of Gran Canaria. It fragmented in two successor states in 1405.

Establishment

  • January 1376: Until the second half of the 14th century, the island was divided into twelve independent areas. In 1375, Gumidafe, the chief of the Tejeda tribal district, in an act of war, subdued the other eleven gayres, the chiefs of the island's tribal districts, and proclaimed himself Guanarteme.
