Ndawula of Buganda

Ndawula was the 19th Kabaka, or king, of the Kingdom of Buganda from 1724 to 1734. He is remembered as a kind and gentle king.

He was the fifth son of Kabaka Juuko Mulwaana, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1680 and 1690. His mother was Nandawula Kabengano of the Nsenene clan, the fifth of his father's six wives. He ascended to the throne upon the death of his cousin. He established his capital at Lubaga.

Some of the great officers of state during his reign included;

He is reported to have married seven (7) wives:

Kabaka Ndawula is reported to have fathered ten (10) children; eight (8) sons and two (2) daughters:

Kabaka Ndawula died of old age around 1734, at the Kasajjakaliwano Palace, at Lubaga. He is buried at Musaba, Busiro.

The head Prince of his lineage bears the title Ssezaalunnyo Walugembe, with his seat at Mawule in Kyaddondo.

"Ndawula himself was a man of peace; he reigned long and had a very large family. The turbulence of Ndawula's numerous sons broke the tranquil atmosphere he had established in the country."
