KINGS OF BUGANDA

THE 36 KINGS OF BUGANDA

1.KATO Kintu Kakulukuku

He was the first kabaka (king) of the Kingdom of Buganda. “Kintu” is an adopted by-name, chosen for Kintu, the name of the first person on earth in Buganda mythology.

Kato Kintu gave himself the name “Kintu” to associate himself with the “father of all people”, and he may have renamed his wife, from Nantuttululu to Nambi, because that was Kintu’s wife’s name.

Kabaka Kintu abdicated and settled in Magonga. He is said to have disappeared. Up to today, his place of death and burial are unknown. Following his death, there followed a period of Interregnum under the Prime Ministers Walusimbi and his successor, Sebwaana. This period lasted until 1374.

Research:

Kintu was born at Bukasa Village, in the Ssese Islands, on Lake Nalubaale. He established his capital at Nnono, Busujju County. He fathered one child

Kabaka Kato Kintu died at age thirty. He was buried at Nnono, Busujju Count

He reigned during the mid 14^th century. He was the 2^nd Kabaka of Buganda

He was the son of Kabaka Kato Kintu the first Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned in the early 14th century. His mother was Nambi Nantuttululu, of the Ngeye Clan. He ascended to the throne following the death of his father. He established his capital at Bigo Hill. He married two wives:

Awabakal Nakku, the Kaddulubaale, daughter of Walusimbi of the Ffumbe clan. After the death of Kabaka Chwa I, she married Sebwaana, a Regent.
Nakiwala, daughter of Semwanga, of the Ngonge clan.

3.KATO KIMERA

His mother was the lady Nyatworo of the Bakwonga clan. Kato Kimera came from Bukidi with his brother Rukidi Mpuga. He was given Buganda to rule by his brother Rukidi Mpuga, who was then king of Kitara. Kato Kimera rebelled against his brother and declared himself king of Buganda. His tomb is at Lunnyo. The Baganda historians try to distort his real identity. They deny that Bunyoro-Kitara was the first to have a ruling dynasty.

FACTS

Prince (Omulangira) Kalemeera, whose mother was Nakiwala. Kalemeera was driven out of Buganda and forced to seek refuge in Bunyoro, on the orders of his father. In Bunyoro, Kalemeera was accommodated at the court of his uncle, Omukama Winyi I of Bunyoro. There, he had an illicit sexual encounter with Lady Wannyana, daughter of Mugalula Buyonga, a Muhima, the chief wife of his uncle. The affair resulted in a son; one Prince Kimera Walusimbi

4.TTEMBO

He became King of Buganda in succession to Kimera. It is said that he was a mental case and this eventually caused his death. His mother was the lady Nattembo of the Mmamba clan. His tomb lies in Luwoko.

He was the only surviving son of Prince Lumansi, son of Kabaka Kimera. His mother was Nattembo.

He killed his grandfather while on a hunting trip by clubbing him on the head. Accounts of the event differ; some say the event was an accident, while others say it was a deliberate act. Ttembo established his capital at Ntinda Hill.

He fathered three children, two sons and one daughter:

Kabaka Sewannaku Kiggala Mukaabya Kasungubu, the 5^th Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1434 and 1464 and between 1484 and 1494.

Prince (Omulangira) Lutimba. He was a full-brother of Kabaka Kiggala. He rebelled against his brother but was defeated by his nephews and fled. He died at Wassozi and was buried at Butugu.

Princess (Omumbejja) Nazibanja. She had several children by her brother Kabaka Kiggala

5.KIGGALA MUKABYA KUNGUBU

He succeeded his father Ttembo. His mother was the lady Najjemba. We are told that this king reigned for a very long time. His tomb lies in Ddambwe.

He was the eldest son of Kabaka Ttembo Kiridde, Kabaka of Buganda, by his wife, Najjemba. He ascended to the throne upon the death of his father, around 1434. He established his capital at Kitala Hill. In 1464, he abdicated the throne in favor of his son, Ntege Kiyimba. Kiggala resumed the throne after the death of his son, sometime around 1484.

He went blind shortly after the beginning of his second reign. He ruled under the regency of his prime ministers.

He married six wives as detailed below:

Prince (Omulangira) Kaasameeme, whose mother was Nakawuka

Prince (Omulangira) Wampamba, whose mother was Nawampamba. He was excluded from the succession for committing incest with his aunt.

Prince Wampamba married two wives (a) Lady Nakayima, daughter of his maternal uncle, Gunju, of the Butiko clan and (b) Lady Naabagereka, aunt and wet nurse to his first wife, sister of Gunju, of the Butiko clan. He fathered two sons:

Kabaka Kiggala Mukaabya Sewannaku Kasungubu died in 1494 of extreme old age and was succeeded on the throne by his grandson, Kayima Sendikaddiwa. His remains are buried at Ddambwe, Busiro.

6.KIYIMBA

He is not really counted among the kings of Buganda because he became king while his father was still alive and died before his father died. His father became king once more. Kiyimba was very much hated by his people because he was a very bad man. His body lies in Ssentema. His mother was the lady Nnabukalu.

7.KAYIMA SENDIKADDIWA

.He was the son of Prince (Omulangira) Wampamba, by his first wife, Lady Nakayima nabbuso. He ascended the throne upon the death of his grandfather, Kiggala Mukaabya in 1494. He established his capital at Nazigo Hill.

He was the first king to lead an attack on Kitara and lost his life in the undertaking when he was fighting against the saza chief of Bwiru [Buddu].

He had two wives:

Nababinge, daughter of Wampona, of the Mamba clan

Naddogo, daughter of Kasujja, of the Ngeye clan

He fathered two sons:

Kabaka Nakibinge Kagali, whose mother was Nababinge

Prince (Omulangira) Kabasanda, whose mother was Naddogo

He was killed in battle against Chief Bwakamba of Nyendo, at Sunga, in 1524.

He is buried at Nabulagala, Busiro.He died in Isunga during the reign of Winyi. His body lies in Kkongoije.

8.NNAKIBINGE KAGALI

He succeeded Kabaka Kaima, his father. He was the son of Nnakibinge. He is mostly remembered for his bravery.

He was the eldest son of Kabaka Kayima Sendikaddiwa, the seventh Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned from 1494 until 1524.

Kabaka Nakibinge ascended the throne upon the death of his father in 1524.

He established his capital at Bumbu Hill.During his reign, Nakibinge launched attacks on Bulemezi, which roused the attention of the Omukama of Bunyoro.

In the ensuing years, the war raged on, and the heavy attacks of the Banyoro forced Nakibinge to seek military aid from the Islands of Ssesse. However, this boost in military force only guaranteed victory for a brief moment for Nakibinge.

Despite penetrating further into Bunyoro territory, the Banyoro regrouped and drove Nakibinge’s army from Bunyoro. The Banyoro chased his troops through Bulemezi, Kyaddondo and Mawokota.

He was killed by Olimi I, the Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara. Omukama Olimi I wanted to reconquer Buganda but he was advised against his undertaking because it was not god for one kingdom to swallow another.

He therefore gave up idea. The Baganda put his wife Nnannono on the throne.

Nnannono was pregnant at the time and it was hoped that the child she bore would become king. But she was, however unfortunate because she had a baby girl and not a boy.

He married eight wives:

Nabitaba, daughter of Ndugwa, of the Lugave clan

Najjemba, daughter of Semwanga, of the Ngonge clan

Nalunga, daughter of Lusundo, of the Nvuma clan

Nabakyaala Namulondo, the Naabagareka, sister of Gunju, of the Butiko clan

Nasuuna, daughter of Nankere, of the Mamba clan

Bukirwa, the Nanzigu, daughter of Sekayiba, of the Mbogo clan

Nannono, daughter of Seggirinya, of the Ngo clan. Nannono acted as regent after the death of her husband for a period of eighteen months

Kabejja

He fathered four sons and two daughters:

Kabaka Mulondo Sekajja, Kabaka of Buganda, whose mother was Namulondo

Kabaka Jemba Busungwe, Kabaka of Buganda, whose mother was Najjemba

Kabaka Suuna I Kisolo, Kabaka of Buganda, whose mother was Nassuuna

Prince (Omulangira) Nzigu, whose mother was Bukirwa

Princess (Omumbejja) Batenga, whose mother was Namulondo

Princess (Omumbejja) Nnono, whose mother was Nannono. Born posthumously in 1555. She died young.

Kabaka Nakibinge was killed in battle against the Banyoro, at Busajja, in 1554. He is buried at Kongojje, Busiro.

Nakibinge’s death signals the end of the “Babito” dynasty in Buganda, and heralded a new era.

“The immediate and perhaps most important result of Nakibinge’s death was that it seems to have ended the previous dynasty and thereby created a succession crisis for Buganda. The sources for this period, however, have perhaps as many variants as those of other regions put together. The reason for this is probably that a new dynasty was introduced and also that Nakibinge himself was regarded by the Baganda as a national hero. Hence the multiplicity of traditions which tend to contradict each other.”

9. Ssekabaka Mulondo Sekajja

He succeeded his father Nnakibinge and became King of Buganda while a baby.Mulondo Sekajja was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda between 1555 and 1564.

He was the 9^th Kabaka of Buganda. His mother was the lady Namulondo. He lived to a ripe age.

The royal chair of Buganda started to be called Nnamulondo [after his mother] during the reign of Kabaka Mulondo. His tomb is found in Mitwebiri.

He was the eldest surviving son of Kabaka Nakibinge Kagali, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1524 and 1554.

His mother was Nabakyaala Namulondo, the fourth wife of his father and the Naabagereka.

He was elected to succeed his father, upon his father’s death and after the regency of his step-mother expired on the birth of her daughter in 1555. He established his capital at Mitw’ebiri Hill.

Historian Semakula Kiwanuka asserts that the reign of Mulondo might be an indication of the beginning of a new dynasty.

“But the circumstances which led to Nakibinge’s death and those which surrounded the accession of Mulondo render some of our sources suspicious.

For instance, the claim that Mulondo came to the throne as an infant seems to be contradicted by a close analysis of the sources.

This analysis strongly suggests that Mulondo and his immediate successors came from Sese.”

During his reign, Mulondo led several raids against Buddu, which was then still part of the Bunyoro-Kitara kingdom.

He married as his only wife, Nakku, daughter of Naserenga, of the Ffumbe clan.

Whilst performing the birth ceremonies in the presence of the Kabaka, Kateregga was accompanied by a different wife instead of the mother of the twins, because the latter was lame.

Kateregga is noted for his violent character, and the persecutions he carried out against the Ngo (leopard) clan for their claims to have royal links. Members of the clan found themselves migrating, joining other clans or founding separate clans in order to hide their identity.

ACHIEVEMENT

To Buganda’s territory, Kateregga added Butambala and Gomba through conquest. He installed his own chiefs in these regions as well is in south Singo.

26.JJUNJU SENDEGEYA

This Kabaka succeeded his father, Kyabaggu. Jjunju Sendegeya was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda (a subnational kingdom within Uganda) from 1780 until 1797.

He was the twenty-sixth (26^th) Kabaka of Buganda.He is also counted among the brave kings of Buganda. His mother was the lady Nnanteza. He is the one who captured Bwiru [Buddu] and Kooki counties from Kitara and added them to Buganda. His body lies in Luwunga.

He was the son of Kabaka Kyabaggu Kabinuli, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1750 and 1780. His mother was Nanteza, the seventeenth (17^th) of his father’s twenty (20) wives. He ascended to the throne upon the death of his father. He established his capital at Magonga.

He is recorded to have married four wives:

Katagya, daughter of Gabunga, of the Mamba clan

Nakamu I, daughter of Lwoomwa, of the Ndiga clan

Nakamu II, daughter of Katambala, of the Ndiga clan

Tebwaaza, daughter of Kasamba, of the Mbogo (Water Buffalo) clan

He is recorded to have fathered three children; one son and two daughters:

Prince (Omulangira) Semalume, whose mother was Nakamu I

Princess (Omumbejja) Nakabiri, whose mother is not mentioned

Princess (Omumbejja) Kyomubi, whose mother was Katagya

During his reign, Buganda conquered Buddu (in present-day Masaka District) from Bunyoro. His reign was interrupted by the struggle between him and his brother Prince Semakookiro, who rebelled against him. During the rebellion, Semakookiro ordered his men to go and capture Kabaka Jjunju and bring him to the rebel prince. The expedition went badly. Kabaka Jjunju was killed during the attempted capture.

When the regiment sent to capture the Kabaka came back to report that they had killed him, Semakookiro was so upset that he expelled all the regiment members together with their families and friends from Buganda, or else they would suffer the same fate as his brother. The expelled people fled Buganda and went westwards to present day Kitagwenda District and Bunyaruguru in Rubirizi District, Western Uganda.

This group of descendants were the reason why Kitagwenda and Bunyaruguru are called thus today. Batagwenda seems to mean those who cannot go further and Banyaruguru means those with strong-legs. Indeed, Kitagwenda is east of Bunyaruguru and is a plain area while Bunyaruguru is a hilly area west of Kitagwenda. Those without strong legs stayed in Kitagwenda and those who moved on and climbed the hills became the Banyaruguru.

He was killed in the Battle of Kiwawu, against his brother Semakookiro, in 1797. He was buried at Luwunga, Busiro.

Another version of the death of Junju is that he was killed by the then Baganda of Ssese Islands, following a disagreement that erupted as a result of mistreatment.

The aggreaved group fled to the east escaping from the attacks that were being planned by the mainland Baganda.

When they reached the area of present-day Busoga and Samia region, they identified themselves as “bagenyi” which means “visitors” to the people of those areas. They settled in the area and took on new names such as “Musana”, “Wegulo”, “Wacha” in order to hide from the Kabaka’s agents who were looking for them.

They adopted new culture and their language was amalgamated with Samia and Lusoga. Today these migrants are known as Bakenyi or Bakenye. The Bakenyi can be found among the Basoga, Bagwere, Balamogi, and the Samia proper. Some retained some aspects of their Kiganda culture; members of the Ngo Clan (Leopard Clan) renamed themselves the Babango and changed their totem to the Guinea Fowl (Nkofu). The Ngabi Clan (Antelope Clan) became the Bakoma and the Bagulu.

27.SSEMAKOKIRO (1796-1818)

Semakookiro, also spelled as Ssemakookiro, whose full name is Semakookiro Wasajja Nabbunga, was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda, from 1797 until 1814. He was the twenty-seventh (27^th) Kabaka of Buganda.

He became king in 1796 in succession to his elder brother Jjunju.

They had the same father and the same mother [Kyabaggu and Nanteza]. From this came a proverb which says: “A banana tree does not bear fruit twice except the womb of Nanteza”, meaning that she provided tow kings. He was also brave like his brother. Ssemakokiro killed his brother Jjunju and usurped the throne. But Ssemakokiro turned against his agents who had helped him to kill Jjunju and these escaped death by feeling to Bunyaruguru. Ssemakokiro’s tomb is in Kisimbiri.

28.KAMANYA KADDUWAMALA (1818-32)

It is claimed that Kamanya’s original name was Kanakulya Mukasa. But because he was such a tyrant, his contemporaries began to refer to a person of uncontrollable temper with a persecution mania (and indirectly to the king) as a kamanya.

He was the kabaka who extended the Kitara-Buganda border to Wesigire near Mubende.

29.SSUNA II SEMUNYWA KALEMA KANSINJO (1832-57)

Ssuuna II Kalema Kasinjo Mukaabya Sekkyungwa Muteesa Sewankambo Walugembe Mig’ekyaamye Lukeberwa Kyetutumula Magulunyondo Luwambya Omutanda Sseggwanga ,was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda from 1832 until 1856. He was the twenty-ninth (29^th) Kabaka of Buganda.

He was born at Bujuuko Hill around 1820. He was the son of Kabaka Kamaanya Kadduwamala, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1814 and 1832. His mother was Nakkazi Kannyange, the twenty-third (23^rd) of his father’s thirty-eight (38) wives.

He ascended to the throne upon the death of his father in 1832, having executed all his brothers in order to remain as the sole heir.He established his capital on Mulago Hill

It was during Ssuna II’s reign that foreigners [Arab slave traders] started coming to Buganda. He was the first King to receive clothing [cotton cloth] from foreigners. Kabaka Ssuuna was only twelve 12 years when he ascended to the throne. He was a handsome boy, taking after the looks of his mother, Nakkazi Kannyange, reportedly one of the most beautiful women in Buganda at the time. He began as a popular monarch, loved by his people.

However, as he grew more confident, he became cocky and ruthless. He gave himself a string of names that implied invincibility and super-normal powers. He ordered the execution of fifty eight (58) of his sixty brothers. Only two (2) escaped the carnage:

Prince (Omulangira) Wasajja, whose mother was Nakkazi of the Mamba clan (not Nakkazi Kannyange)

Prince (Omulangira) Mugogo, whose mother was Kyotowadde of the Mamba clan

By the time of his death Kabaka Ssuuna II turned out to be one of the most ruthless of the Buganda kings.[2]

Ssuuna continued the Buganda’s trade in ivory and slaves with Zanzibar and for a time allowed foreign traders mainly Zanzibaris and Arabs like Snay bin Amir (in 1852) and Ahmed bin Ibrahim (in 1844), in his kingdom. He eventually banned entry of all foreign traders in Buganda.

Ssuuna increased Buganda’s naval fleet and expansion in Lake Nnalubaale.

The wars of conquest against the Kingdom’s neighbors continued during his reign which led to an expansion of the territory of the Buganda Kingdom.

During his reign, the neglect of sanitary standards within the capital was decreed an offence punishable by death.

Ssuuna put a number of persons to death for breach of his rules, which aroused the ire of a certain medium named Kigemuzi. Kigemuzi began to speak disrespectfully of the King, saying that he did so by order of the gods.

On Ssuuna’s orders, Kigemuzi was arrested and taken to the capital, contrary to the custom. He protested before the Kabaka, reminding him it was contrary to custom to bind a medicine-man or a medium.

The King then ordered Kigemuzi to be removed, and that night the royal house was struck by lightning, and the King was scorched on his face and on one side of his body.

Ssuuna at once sent for the medium Kigemuzi, released him, and asked him why there had been this storm. The medium answered: “Because the god of thunder (Kiwanuka) is angry at what you have done to me.” The King then presented the man with cattle to make atonement for binding him, and the King’s mother settled him on a large tract of land, in order to propitiate the gods, and to save her son from further harm.

Kabaka Ssuuna II continued in the tradition started by his grandfather and copied by his father; the practice of marrying an extraordinary number of wives. Ssuuna II outdid all of them. He is reported to have married one hundred forty eight wives

As expected, the Kabaka having married 148 wives, he fathered a large number of children. Written accounts put the number as high as two hundred and twenty-one (221).

Prince (Omulangira) Kajumba

Prince (Omulangira) Kiyimba, whose mother was Lady Zawedde

Princess (Omumbejja) Nassuuna, whose mother was Lady Zawedde

Prince (Omulangira) Mukaabya Walugembe, whose mother was Lady Muganzirwazza

This reference lists the names of all of them, giving the names of their mothers in most cases.

In his final years, Kabaka Ssuuna sent an emissary to the king of Buzongola. On his return, the emissary delivered a less than flattering message from Buzongola. Ssuuna took this as a slight and waged war against the kingdom of Buzongola. The Katikiro, Kayira, the Kabaka’s great chiefs and the Queen mother all advised against embarking on a military campaign in a time of famine and small pox. The Kabaka proceeded with the ill advised war.[4]

Despite emerging victorious and driving out the king of Buzongola, the combined effects of war, small pox and famine greatly weakened his armies and most of his men died before reaching Buganda.

Kabaka Ssuuna II died of small pox on his way back to Buganda in October 1856. Kayiira brought his remains back to Nabulagala. His remains are currently buried at Wamala.

WORTHY OF NOTE:

Wamala is the sacred burial place of Kabaka Ssuuna II, who had 148 wives and 218 children.

Ssuuna II was the last Kabaka to be buried in his own palace and the last to have his jaw bone removed after death.

He was also the first Kabaka to admit outside traders into Buganda.

30.MUKABYA MUTEESA SEWANKAMBO WALUGEMBE (1857-84)

Muteesa I Mukaabya Walugembe Kayiira (1837–1884) was the 30^th Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda, from 1856 until 1884.

He was born at the Batandabezaala Palace, at Mulago, in 1837. He was the son of Kabaka Ssuuna II Kalema Kasinjo, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1832 and 1856. His mother was Nabakyala Muganzirwazza, the Namasole, one of the 148 recorded wives of his father. He ascended the throne upon the death of his father in October 1856.

Muteesa was “an insignificant obscure prince”, compared to his brothers Prince Kajumba and Prince Kiyimba. Kajumba was his father’s preferred heir, as Suuna frequently pointed out to his chiefs the heroic qualities of the prince.

However, the chiefs, led by the Katikkiro Kayiira felt that Kajumba would be difficult to control. Muteesa, an unpopular choice, was chosen ahead of his brothers.

He was crowned at Nabulagala. He established his capital, first on Banda Hill. Later he abandoned that palace and established capitals at Nakatema, Nabbingo, Kabojja, and finally at Kasubi, Nabulagala.

The capital at Kabojja got its name due to the numerous executions carried out while the king was resident there, as the name echoes something as deadly as a snake bite.

Following his ascension to the throne, Muteesa, with the help of Kayiira, had his rival princes imprisoned on Kisimi Island.

Some notable chiefs hatched a plot to overthrow the new king and replace him with Prince Kiyimba. However, the plot was foiled and the conspirators, along with Prince Kiyimba and Prince Kajumba, were executed.

He was the first king to meet Europeans, in February 1862 in the persons of Captains Speke and Grant. Christianity also arrived in Buganda during his reign. He was on good terms with the Christian missionaries and did not try to fight them.

The Protestants were the first to arrive in Buganda in 1877. They were followed by the Roman Catholics in 1879. The king himself was a Muslim. But it is not known whether he was ever circumcised, because a king’s blood could not be shed.

Like his forefathers, Muteesa fought several wars of conquest to expand Buganda’s territory, to protect its trade routes and to defend it against external foes like Bunyoro Kitara, the Khedivate of Egypt, slave traders and Buvuma. These trade routes enabled Buganda to trade its Ivory, Barkcloth, Bananas, fish, and slaves for firearms, salt, cloth Textile, copper wire, Iron axes, hoes and knives from the coast and neighboring Kingdoms.

Like his father Ssuuna II, Muteesa expanded Buganda’s naval fleet to gain more influence and control over parts of Lake Nnalubaale especially Ssese Islands and Buvuma which would later become an important trade route for Buganda’s Ivory.

Muslim Swahili and Arab traders from Zanzibar were increasingly established in Buganda since the 1840s to trade firearms, gunpowder, salt, and cloth in exchange for ivory and slaves. During Kabaka Muteesa I’s reign, these contacts continued and he converted to Islam.

Muteesa intervened in Bunyoro’s succession civil war after the death of the Omukama Kamurasi in order to gain influence over Bunyoro Kitara.

At the same time, contact was made with European visitors for the first time in 1862 when John Hanning Speke and James Augustus Grant arrived. Their positive accounts attracted more visitors and Henry Morton Stanley arrived in 1875.[5]: 151

General Charles George Gordon Pasha governor of Equatoria province, the Khedivate of Egypt, sent several envoys to Buganda. One envoy Charles Chaillé-Long in 1874 and another in 1875, called Colonel M. Ernest Linant de Bellefonds [Bey], son of the renowned French engineer Louis Maurice Adolphe Linant de Bellefonds. Gordon wanted Muteesa I to stop selling Buganda’s ivory to the Sultanate of Zanzibar and instead sell it to the Khedivate of Egypt. Sending the ivory to Gondokoro, Sudan would help solve the financial problems of Gordon’s administration.

In order to protect his kingdom, Muteesa I needed modern arms, ammunition and alliances with a more powerful entity like the British Empire. Muteesa had Henry Morton Stanley write a letter on his behalf to Queen Victoria. This letter was handed to Colonel Linant de Bellefonds who Stanley met at Muteesa’s court in 1875. Unfortunately, Linant was killed before he could deliver the letter but it still found its way to the United Kingdom and was published in the Daily Telegraph in November 1875.[citation needed]

As a result of the letter, the first set of Protestant missionaries, from the Church Missionary Society (CMS, Church Mission Society), arrived in Buganda in 1877. Catholic missionaries arrived in 1879, in the persons of Fr Simon Lourdel Monpel, M.Afr., and Brother Amans, M.Afr.

All three visitor groups were made to believe that Kabaka Muteesa I preferred their religion over the others. They thus wrote favorable reviews back home to their respective governments, encouraging trade and friendly relations. As a result, Buganda, and Uganda were not colonized but were offered status of a protectorate.

Muteesa’s relationship with the Catholic Church was strong, such that much of his court converted and also many of his people. This would later cause controversy, however, when his son succeeded him and was far less friendly to the missionares’ cause (going so far as to murder Christians on multiple occasions).

Muteesa I Mukaabya Walugembe Kayiira is reported to have married 87 wives.[citation needed]

He is reported to have fathered 98 children, including:

Kabaka Danieri Basammula-Ekkere Mwanga II Mukasa, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned from 1884 until 1888 and from 1889 until 1897, whose mother was Naabakyaala Abisaagi Baagal’ayaze.

Kabaka Kiweewa Nnyonyintono, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 11 September 1888 and 21 October 1888, whose mother was Kiribakka.

Kabaka Kalema I Muguluma, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned from 21 October 1888 until 5 October 1889, whose mother was Ndibuwakanyi.

He had very many children but many of them were burnt to death by his brother Kalema. Kabaka Mukabya died in 1884, and his tomb is found at Kasubi.

Under his rule Buganda was never seriously threatened, either with civil war or conquest. He became more powerful and more civilised. He allowed the missionaries to teach that it was possible to owe a higher allegiance than to their King, and while he lived their lives were safe. He had the strengths and subtlety to balance the Catholics, Protestants, Muslims and pagans, so that he controlled them all, just as he kept in touch with the rest of the world, but managed not to be swamped by it. If he turned inward at the end it was but a mild taste of what was to come.”

31.MWANGA II BASAMMULA-EKKERE (1884-97)

Danieri Basammula-Ekkere Mwanga II Mukasa (1868 – 8 May 1903)[1] was Kabaka of Buganda from 1884 until 1888 and from 1889 until 1897. He was the 31^st Kabaka of Buganda.

He became king on 24^th October 1884.

Mwanga is on record as having married 17 wives:

Princess (Omumbejja) Mboni Maliamu Kajja-Obunaku, whose mother was Nattimba. She was educated at Saint Monica’s School in Zanzibar

FIGHTING COLONIALISM

Mwanga increasingly regarded the greatest threat to his rule as coming from the Christian missionaries who had gradually penetrated Buganda. His father had played-off the three religious traditions – Catholics, Protestants, and Muslims – against each other and thus had balanced the influence of the powers that were backing each group in order to extend their reach into Africa.

Mwanga II took a much more aggressive approach, expelling missionaries and insisting that Christian converts abandon their faith or face death.

A year after becoming king he executed Yusufu Rugarama, Makko Kakumba, and Nuuwa Sserwanga, who had converted to Christianity.

On 29 October 1885, he had the incoming archbishop James Hannington assassinated on the eastern border of his kingdom.

Mwanga was determined to rid his kingdom of the new teaching and its followers.

Mwanga therefore precipitated a showdown in May 1886 by ordering converts in his court to choose between their new faith and complete obedience to his orders and follower’s.

It is believed that at least 30 Catholic and Protestant neophytes went to their deaths.Twenty-two of the men, who had converted to Catholicism, were burned alive at Namugongo in 1886 and later became known as the Uganda Martyrs.

Mwanga’s continued resistance alarmed the British, who backed a rebellion by Christian and Muslim groups who supported Mwanga’s half brother and defeated Mwanga at Mengo in 1888. Mwanga’s brother, Kiweewa Nnyonyintono, was elevated to the throne.

He lasted exactly one month and was replaced on the throne by another brother, Kabaka Kalema Muguluma. However, Mwanga escaped and negotiated with the British.

In exchange for handing over some of his sovereignty to the British East Africa Company, the British changed their backing to Mwanga, who swiftly removed Kalema from the throne in 1889.

Mwanga II did not enjoy the throne peacefully, for he was on and off it. He was driven away from the throne twice, first by Kiweewa and then by Kalema .

He, however struggled back to power again but was finally deposed on 6 July 1897, when he revolted against the Europeans.

On 27 August 1894, Mwanga had accepted for Buganda to become a Protectorate. However, on 6 July 1897 he declared war on the British and launched an attack but was defeated on 20 July 1897, in Buddu (in today’s Masaka District). He fled into German East Africa (modern-day Tanzania), where he was arrested and interned at Bukoba

He was deposed in absentia on 9 August 1897. Tenacious as he was, he escaped and returned to Buganda with a rebel army, but was again defeated on 15 January 1898.

He was captured and in April 1899 was exiled to the Seychelles. While in exile, he was received into the Anglican Church and was baptized with the name of Danieri (Daniel).

He spent the rest of his life in exile. He died in the Seychelles on 8 May 1903, aged 34 or 35. On 2 August 1910, his remains were repatriated and buried at Kasubi.

32.KIWEEWA NYONYINTONO

Mutebi Nnyonyintono Kiweewa was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda from 2 August 1888 until 21 October 1888. He was the 32^nd Kabaka of Buganda

When he ascended the throne Kiweewa was of the view that he would be the supreme authority in the land of just as his predecessors had been.

But soon Kiweewa discovered that he was no more than a puppet in the hands of his officers and ministers.

Kiwewa should not have been counted as king because he came to the throne while the rightful heir, Mwanga II, was still alive.

Kabaka Kiweewa Nnyonyintono’s rein is the shortest in the recorded history of Buganda. He was the Kabaka-in-waiting for around six weeks; after he was crowned, he lasted a mere forty days on the throne. His reign was characterized by conflict and rebellion among the members of the royal court and intrigue and plotting among the Arabic Muslim and European Christian forces that supported the warring factions.

He was born at Nakatema prior to 1856, the eldest son of Kabaka Mukaabya Walugembe Mutesa I Kayiira, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1856 and 1884.

His mother was Kiribakka of the Mamba clan. He ascended to the throne following the defeat of his younger brother, Kabaka Mwanga II by the combined Christian, Muslim and rebel Baganda forces.

The defeat of Mwanga II occurred on 2 August 1888. Kiweewa was crowned on 11 September 1888. He maintained his capital at Mengo Hill.

He was the father of Prince Augustini Tebandeke.

He is recorded to have married twenty (20) wives:

Lady Bukirwa Nassaza

Lady Butema

He was deposed by the Muslim forces of his brother Kabaka Kalema Muguluma, who reigned from 21 October 1888 until 5 October 1889. He was captured and thrown in jail. He was killed in prison by his Muslim captors in July 1889. He was buried at Masanafu, Kyaddondo.

33.KALEMA MUGULUMA RASHID

Rashid Kalema Muguluma was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda, from 21 October 1888 until 5 October 1889. He was the 33^rd Kabaka of Buganda

He is also counted among the rebel princes against their brother kings.

Kalema Muguluma was the son of Kabaka Mukaabya Walugembe Muteesa I Kayiira, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1856 and 1884. His mother was Ndibuwakanyi, of the Mamba clan. He was declared Kabaka by the Muslim forces that deposed his elder brother Kabaka Kiweewa Mutebi Nnyonyintono on 21 October 1888. He maintained his capital at Mengo Hill.

He became king in succession to his brother Kiwewa, whom he killed. He is the one who sought help from Kabalega.

He appealed to Kabalega for help and was given an army led by Rwabudongo. The army helped to put Kalema on the throne of Buganda.

Kalema spent more days on the throne than his brother Kiwewa. He ascended the throne on 12 October 1888 and was driven off on 5 October 1889. He thus spent almost a year on the throne.

When the Christian refugees allied themselves with Mwanga, in an attempt to usurp Kalema’s throne, Kalema sought to strengthen his position by purging all members of the royal family that could be lured to join the Christian cause. He decreed that all princes and princesses should be burnt alive.

About thirty princes and princesses perished in this massacre, including Mwanga’s infant sons Kyonya and Kagalo

He is recorded to have married the following wives:

Nabikukuzi, daughter of Jjumba, of the Nkima clan

Sofia Kabakalongoosa, daughter of Kinyolo, of the Nkima clan

Nakibuuka, daughter of Mugema, of the Nkima clan

Zefiria Nnampa Nakibuuka, daughter of Bakkabulindi of the Ngeye clan

Nabibooge, daughter of Kibaya, of the Nsenene clan

Veneneka Nabiwemba, daughter of Wakooli, a Musoga, of the Ngabi clan

Njera Saabaddu, daughter of Gabunga, of the Mamba clan

Kalema was also the father of Maria Kamuhanda, the Rubuga, or official sister, of Sir Daudi Chwa II.

His recorded children include:

Prince (Omulangira) Kiweewa Zzimbe, whose mother was Nabikukuzi

Prince (Omulangira) Edmond Alamanzaani Ndawula, whose mother was Zefiria Nnampa. He died on July 1, 1916

Prince (Omulangira) Yozefu Musanje Walugembe, MBE. He was born on 31 August 1889.

His mother was Nabibooge. He was educated at Namilyango College. In October 1914, he was commissioned as a 2^nd Lieutenant in the African Native Medical Corps. In 1915, he was promoted to lieutenant. He served in the First World War from 1915 until 1919. He was decorated with the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), the 1915 Star and the British War and Allied Victory medals. On 18 November 1907, he married Sala Kiire, daughter of Chevalier Stanislas Mugwaanya, OBE, GCSG, at the White Fathers’ Mission, Nsambya. Prince Musanje fathered three sons and two daughters: (a) Prince (Omulangira) Joseph Mukaabya (b) Prince (Omulangira) Daudi Kimera (c) Prince (Omulangira) Lodoviko Kamanya and (c) Princess (Omumbejja) Tereza Namukaabya (d) Princess (Omumbejja) Mary Kamuwanda.

Princess (Omumbejja) Yuniya Maliamu Kamuwanda, whose mother was Veneneka Nabiwemba. Princess Kamuwanda was installed as Naalinnya to Kabaka Daudi Chwa II on August 14, 1897. She received the Silver Jubilee medal in 1935, the Coronation Medal in 1937 and the Papal medal “Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice” in 1951. She died on May 30, 1951.

Princess (Omumbejja) Besemerese Hana Dimbwe. She was born in Kampala in 1887. Her mother was Sofia Kabak’alongoosa. In September 1905, she married, at Mbale, as his third wife, Semei Lwakirenzi Kakungulu, then Kabaka of Bukedi.[citation needed]

His mother was the lady Ndikubwani. His body lies in Mmende. His body was removed from Kitara to Buganda to be buried as was the custom.

After his removal from the throne by the British, Kabaka Kalema went into exile in Bunyoro. He died in exile from complications of smallpox in January 1891. At the time of his death, his age is estimated to have been in the mid-twenties. His remains were repatriated and buried at Mmende in Busiro.

34.SIR CAPTAIN H.H. DAUDI CHWA, K.C.M.G. (1897-1939)

He was born on 8 August 1896, at Mengo. He was the fifth son of Kabaka Danieri Basammula-Ekkere Mwanga II Mukasa, Kabaka of Buganda, between 1884 and 1888 and between 1889 and 1897. His mother was Abakyala Evalini Kulabako, of the Ngabi Clan, the fourth of his father’s sixteen wives.

He ascended to the throne in August 1897 following the deposition of his father by British Forces. At the time of his coronation, he was only one year old. He maintained his capital at Mengo Hill. He was educated at Kings College Budo.

He is counted among the very powerful and honorable kings of Buganda. He succeeded his father, Mwanga II, on 14 August 1897, while his father was still alive and fighting against the Europeans. His mother was the lady Everini [Evelyn] Kulabako. Daudi Chwa’s ability was very much tried by the wisdom of the Europeans.

Buganda progressed during his reign and was peaceful. His people are very rich. They have built nice and strong houses made of stone and iron roofs or tiles.

Things seem to be going well in his reign. At present, Buganda has twenty big counties with many people living in them.

He is recorded to have fathered 36 children; 20 sons and 16 daughters:

1. Eva Irini Alice Zalwango

35.MUTEESA II, EDWARD, S.M. LUWANGULA

Sir Edward Frederick William David Walugembe Mutebi Luwangula Mutesa II (19 November 1924 – 21 November 1969) was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda in Uganda from 22 November 1939 until his death. He was the thirty-fifth Kabaka of Buganda[1] and the first president of Uganda.[2] The foreign press often referred to him as King Freddie, a name rarely used in Uganda.[3][4]

Mutesa was born at the house of Albert Ruskin Cook in Makindye, Kampala, on 19 November 1924, the fifth son of the Kabaka Daudi Cwa II, who reigned between 1897 and 1939.[5] His mother was Lady Irene Drusilla Namaganda, of the Nte clan. He was educated at King’s College Budo, a prestigious school in Uganda.[5]

Upon the death of his father on 22 November 1939, he was elected Kabaka by the Lukiiko at the age of 15 and was installed outside the Lubiri at Mengo on 25 November 1939.[6] He reigned under a Council of Regents until he came of age and assumed full powers.

Mutesa II was crowned as Kabaka at Buddo on 19 November 1942, his eighteenth birthday. At that time, Buganda was still part of the Uganda Protectorate, a territory within the British Empire.

The years between 1945 and 1950 saw widespread protests against both the Governor of Uganda’s and Kabaka Mutesa’s governments.

In the early 1950s the British Government floated the idea of uniting British East Africa (Uganda, Kenya and Tanganyika) into a federation. Africans feared that this would lead to their coming under the control of Kenya’s white settler community, as had happened in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The Baganda, fearing they would lose the limited autonomy they had under British rule, were particularly opposed. Mutesa himself opposed the proposal, and thus came into conflict with the British Governor, Sir Andrew Cohen, prompting the Kabaka crisis. In 1953, the Lukiiko (Parliament) of Buganda sought independence from the Uganda Protectorate, with Mutesa himself demanding that Buganda be separated from the rest of the protectorate of Uganda and transferred to Foreign Office jurisdiction. Governor Cohen’s response was to depose and exile the Kabaka on 30 November, creating massive protests among the Baganda.[8] Mutesa’s forced departure made him a martyr in the eyes of the Baganda, whose latent separatism set off a storm of protest. Cohen could find no one among the Baganda willing and able to mobilise support for his schemes. After two years of unrelenting Ganda hostility and obstruction, Cohen was forced to reinstate ‘Kabaka Freddie’, who returned to Kampala on 17 October 1955 under a negotiated settlement which made him a constitutional monarch and gave the Baganda the right to elect representatives to the kingdom’s parliament, the Lukiiko. Mutesa’s standing up to Cohen greatly boosted his popularity in the kingdom.[9]

In 1962, Uganda became independent from Britain under the leadership of Milton Obote. Under the country’s new constitution, the Kingdom of Buganda became a semi-autonomous part of a new Ugandan federation. The federal Prime Minister was Obote, the leader of the Uganda People’s Congress (UPC), which entered a governing coalition with the dominant Buganda regional party, Kabaka Yekka. The post of Governor-General of Uganda was abolished with the attainment of republican status and replaced by a non-executive President.

Obote and the UPC reached a deal with Mutesa to support his election to the Presidency of Uganda. In a session of Parliament on 4 October 1963, Mutesa was elected President via secret ballot with the support of over two thirds of the members.

In 1964, the coalition between Mutesa and Obote’s parties collapsed over the imposition, against Mutesa’s will, of a referendum to decide the fate of two “lost counties”. Residents of the two counties voted overwhelmingly in favour of their return from Buganda to Bunyoro. In 1966, Mutesa’s estrangement from Obote merged with another crisis. Obote faced a possible removal from office by factional infighting within his own party.

He had the other four leading members of his party arrested and detained, and then suspended the federal constitution and declared himself President of Uganda in February 1966, deposing Mutesa.

The Buganda regional Parliament passed a resolution in May 1966 declaring that de jure Buganda’s incorporation into Uganda had ended with the suspension of the constitution and requesting the federal government to vacate the capital city, which was in Buganda. Obote responded with an armed attack upon the Kabaka’s palace, sending Mutesa into exile in the United Kingdom via Burundi, and in 1967 a new constitution abolished all of Uganda’s kingdoms, including Buganda.

Mutesa died of alcohol poisoning in his London flat, No. 28 Orchard House in Rotherhithe, in 1969. Identified by the Metropolitan Police as suicide, the death has been viewed as assassination by those who claim Mutesa may have been force-fed vodka by agents of the Obote regime.

Mutesa was interviewed in his flat only a few hours before his death by the British journalist John Simpson, who found that he was sober and in good spirits. Simpson reported this to the police the following day on hearing of Mutesa’s death, but this line of inquiry was not pursued.[citation needed]

After Mutesa’s body had been embalmed by Desmond Henley,it was returned to Uganda in 1971 after the overthrow of Obote and given a state funeral at Kasubi Nabulagala.

The president who ordered the state funeral was Idi Amin, who as army commander had led the assault on Mutesa’s palace in 1966.

Mutesa married Lady Damali in 1948. He is said to have fathered many children with her and twelve other women:

Nnaabakyala Damali Catherine Nnakawombe, the Nnabagereka, daughter of Christopher Kisosonkole of the Nkima clan. Wedding on 19 November 1948 at St. Paul’s Cathedral Namirembe.
