Emperor Brim

Emperor Brim, also known as Hoboyetly, (died 1733)[1] was a Muscogee mico of Coweta who rose to power through a series of shifting alliances with France, England, and Spain.

His two sons, Hollata Brim and Seepeycoffee Brim, both later served as leading Cowetas, but it was Malatchi Brim, a maternal relation of Emperor Brim (perhaps a nephew), who succeeded him as mico in accordance with the Creek custom of matrilineality.[2]
