Claim to the throne

He was the son of Kabaka Kato Kintu,[1] 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.[citation needed]

He married two wives:[2]

  • Naabakyaala 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.
