Ngola (title)

The Ngola was the title of the king of the Kingdom of Ndongo which existed from the sixteenth to the seventeenth century in what is now north-west Angola.[1] The full title was "Ngola a Kiluanje", which is often shortened to simply "Ngola", hence the name of the modern country. One queen, Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba, held the title of Ndongo in the kingdom's history.[2]
