Ttembo was Kabaka (King) of the Kingdom of Buganda. He ruled between 1404 and 1434. He was the 4th Kabaka of Buganda.
Claim to the throne
[edit]He was the only surviving son of Prince Lumansi, son of Kabaka Kimera. His mother was Nattembo. He killed his grandfather while on a hunting trip by clubbing him on the head. Accounts of the event differ; some say the event was an accident, while others say it was a deliberate act.[citation needed] Ttembo established his capital at Ntinda Hill.
Married life
[edit]He married Najjemba, daughter of Semwanga, of the Ngonge clan.[1]
Issue
[edit]He fathered three children, two sons and one daughter: [1]
- Kabaka Sewannaku Kiggala Mukaabya Kasungubu, the 5th Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1434 and 1464 and between 1484 and 1494.
- Prince (Omulangira) Lutimba. He was a full-brother of Kabaka Kiggala. He rebelled against his brother but was defeated by his nephews and fled. He died at Wassozi and was buried at Butugu.
- Princess (Omumbejja) Nazibanja. She had several children by her brother Kabaka Kiggala
The final years
[edit]Kabaka Ttembo became insane during the latter years of his reign. He died at Busiro and was buried at Katikamu. Other credible sources give his burial place as Bujuuko, Busiro.[2]
