Mashkouda (Old Nubian: ⲙⲁϣⲕⲟⲩⲇⲁ, lit. "Servant of the Sun"[1]) was king of the Nubian kingdom of Makuria from 4 June 1276 to his assassination in the late 70s. In Arabic sources he appears as Shekanda.[2]

Mashkouda was a relative of king David, being either his cousin or nephew. After David had attacked the border town of Aswan he accompanied a Mamluk expedition in 1276 to detain David and install Mashkouda as Makurian king. David was defeated and fled to the Kingdom of al-Abwab, but was taken prisoner and deported to Cairo.[3] Mashkouda was proclaimed king of Makuria on 4 June 1276.[4] The price was that he became a Mamluk tributary.[5] He ruled until the Mamluks had him assassinated in the late 70s.[6]
