Welcome Cassandra Khaw, who guest-wrote this mini-series! (We will be doing a combined Lies episode on this and Siege of Vienna in a few weeks)

Queen Nzinga of the Ndongo and Matamba Kingdoms, a scion of the Mbundu people, will spend forty years standing between the Portuguese and their ambitions, using everything at her command -- her cunning, her ruthless intellect, her military acumen, even the bodies of her people -- whatever it takes to succeed.

Queen Nzinga - Rise of a Legend - Extra History - #1

Nzinga didn't start out as a queen--but when she saw how incompetently her brother was running affairs in Ndongo (what would become Angola), she took advantage of his decision to send her to negotiate with the Portuguese--much to his grief later. Nzinga established herself against colonial forces and did not budge. Thanks again to Cassandra Khaw for guest-writing this mini-series!
