Claim to the throne

He was the sixth son of Kabaka Kiggala Mukaabya.[1] His mother was Nabukalu, of the Lugave clan, the first wife of Kabaka Kiggala Mukaabya. He ascended the throne around 1464, when his father abdicated. His reign was unpopular as a result of his cruelty.[1] He died before his father did and was consequently succeeded by his father.

  • Bamuggya, daughter of Kisuule, of the Njaza clan
  • Gwojjanjaba, daughter of Gunju, of the Butiko clan.
