1670 CE

Queen Nzinga’s death has accelerated the Portuguese occupation of the interior of South West Africa, fueled by the massive expansion of the Portuguese slave trade.

João Guterres Ngola Kanini, one of the late Queen’s relatives and most important councilors, had managed to temporarily oust Nzinga Mona in 1669, but is defeated and killed in 1670.

His son Francisco Guterres Ngola Kanini will eventually carry on the royal line in the kingdom.
