Rule

[edit]

When Manuel Afonso ascended the throne of Kibangu, there were those who were opposed to his claim to the Kingdom of Kongo, and an internal struggle for the throne of Kibangu began. The leaders of those against Manuel Afonso's rule were two brothers of the Água Rosada house, the product of one Kinlaza parent, and oneKimpanzuparent. The brothers' faction was eventually successful in 1688, and the older of the two,Álvaro,gained the throne of Kibangu.^[2]
