• King
Hari a Kiluanje (ruled 1626) • King
Ngola Hari (ruled 1626–1657) Both of these supposed Kings were usurpers imposed upon the people by the Portuguese as during that time period they were at war with Njinga that considered herself to be the rightful ruler to the Kingdom of Ndongo. The loyalty of the Mbundu vassals, or sobas, changed continuously between Portugal and Njinga. Her Sovereignty was never recognised by Portugal until 1657, but during repeated occasions did she gain the fidelity of most of the Mbundu sobas. In 1642, the conquest of Luanda by the Dutch also technically cancels the Portuguese vassalage of the region at the time. ==Rulers of Ndongo-Matamba==
