"She was a famous warrior precious for her father". What does this mean, exactly? Is "warrior precious" a title? Is there a comma missing somewhere?
I also think "considered the mother of the Mossi people" is in need of some clarification. I gather that "mother" here means something akin to "progenitor" or "originator", but it should be better corroborated, because the way it's stated now, it's using poetic language in an encyclopedic setting without expanding on it.
