She was married to Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies, a wealthy Victorian Lagos philanthropist. Early lifeOriginally styled Omoba Aina, she was born in 1843 at Oke-Odan, an Egbado village.[2] In 1848, Oke-Odan was raided by a Dahomeyan army; Aina's parents died during the attack and she ended up in the court of King Ghezo as a slave at the age of five. Intended by her captors to become a human sacrifice, she was rescued by Captain Frederick E. Forbes of the Royal Navy, who convinced King Ghezo of Dahomey to give her to Queen Victoria;[3] "She would be a present from the King of the Blacks to the Queen of the Whites," Forbes wrote later.[4] Forbes renamed her Sara Forbes Bonetta, Bonetta after his ship HMS Bonetta. In 1850, she met the queen, who was impressed by the young princess's exceptional intelligence, and had the girl, whom she called Sally,[5] raised as her goddaughter in the British middle class.[5][6][7] In 1851, Sara developed a chronic cough, which was attributed to the climate of Great Britain. Her guardians sent her to school in Africa in May of that year, when she was aged eight,[5] and she returned to England in 1855, when she was 12. In January 1862, she was invited to and attended the wedding of Queen Victoria's daughter Princess Alice.[8] Marriage and childrenShe was later given permission by the Queen to marry Captain James Pinson Labulo Davies at St Nicholas' Church in Brighton, East Sussex, in August 1862, after a period that was to be spent in the town in preparation for the wedding. During her subsequent time in Brighton, she lived at 17 Clifton Hill in the Montpelier area.[9] Captain Davies was a Yoruba businessman of considerable wealth, and after their wedding the couple moved back to their native Africa, where they had three children: Victoria Davies (1863), Arthur Davies (1871), and Stella Davies (1873).[10] Sara Forbes Bonetta continued to enjoy a close relationship with Queen Victoria to the point such that she and Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther were the only Lagos indigènes the Royal Navy had standing orders to evacuate in the event of an uprising in Lagos.[10] Victoria Matilda Davies was also a goddaughter of Queen Victoria.[14] She married the successful Lagos doctor John K. Randle.[11] Many of her descendants (and her daughter's) now live in either England or Sierra Leone, while a separate branch, the aristocratic Randle family of Lagos, remains prominent in contemporary Nigeria.[12][13][14] Death and legacySara Forbes Bonetta died of tuberculosis on 15 August 1880[1] in the city of Funchal, the capital of Madeira Island, a Portuguese island located in the Atlantic ocean. Her husband, Captain Davies, erected a granite obelisk-shaped monument more than eight feet high in memory of Sara Forbes Bonetta at Ijon in Western Lagos, where he had started a cocoa farm.[15][16] The inscription on the obelisk reads: IN MEMORY OF PRINCESS SARAH FORBES BONETTA Sara's grave is number 206 in the British Cemetery of Funchal near the Anglican Holy Trinity Church, Rua Quebra Costas Funchal, Madeira. There is currently no headstone.[17] Sara was portrayed by Zaris-Angel Hator in the 2017 TV series Victoria.[18] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite book|title=The Life of James Pinson Labulo Davies: A Colossus of Victorian Lagos|last=Elebute|first=Adeyemo|publisher=Kachifo Limited/Prestige|year=2013|isbn=9789785205763|pages=138}} 2. ^{{Harvp|Elebute|2013|pp=41–42}} 3. ^{{Cite news | title = Hidden histories: the first black people photographed in Britain – in pictures: Ethiopian princes in exile, boxing champs and 'Friendly Zulus' ... these previously unseen images of black people in the Victorian times show colonialism in all its contradictions: The black Victorians: astonishing portraits unseen for 120 years | newspaper = The Guardian | url = https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2014/sep/15/hidden-histories-the-first-black-people-photographed-in-britain-in-pictures | date = 15 September 2014}} 4. ^{{Cite book | title = Dahomey and the Dahomans: being the journals of two missions to the King of Dahomey.
