The Asanteman, which is made up of about 36 paramountcies, has had its rulers coming from the Kumasi paramountcy since its creation in the 1670s.
In other words, all the 19 kings of Asanteman have been Kumasimanhenes.
As such, one would expect all the Asantehenes to have their parents coming from the Kumasi paramountcy.
However, history has it that four of the Asantehenes had their fathers not from the Kumasi paramountcy.
