Nzinga (or Jinga) was the colourful queen of the Ndongo and Matamba kingdoms. She is honoured for her resistance against the Portuguese who were increasingly occupying all of what is known as Angola. Constantly driven east by the Portuguese, Nzinga organised a powerful guerrilla army, conquered the Matamba, and developed alliances to control the slave routes. She even allied with the Dutch, who helped her stop the Portuguese advancement, After a series of decisive setbacks, Nzinga negotiated a peace treaty with the Portuguese, but still refused to pay tribute to the Portuguese king.
