The House of Bokassa is an African former ruling imperial dynasty. Its founder, Jean-Bédel Bokassa, ruled as self-crowned emperor over the territories of the Central African Empire from 4 December 1976 until 21 September 1979, when he was overthrown. His claim to an imperial title had little recognition in the international community.
