The Olagbegi family is a royal family in Owo, a city in Ondo State, southwestern Nigeria.[1] Members of the family are descendants of Olagbegi Atanneye I, the Olowo of Owo who reigned between 1913 and 1938. Olagbegi Atanneye was himself a descendant of Ojugbelu Arere, the first traditional ruler of Owo, who was a direct descendant of Oduduwa.[2]

Olateru Olagbegi I, the son of Olagbegi Atanneye had 300 wives during his reign and after his demise, it was discovered that five of them were still virgins.[3]
