Claim to the throne

He was the second son of Prince Musanje Golooba. His mother was Nabulya Naluggwa of the Ndiga clan, the second of his father's wives. He ascended to the throne upon the death of his elder brother, Kabaka Mwanga I Sebanakitta, in 1741. He established his capital at Nansana.

Married life

He is recorded to have married six (6) wives:

  • Naabakyaala Basuuta, the Kaddulubaale, daughter Masembe, of the Nsenene clan
  • Najjuka, daughter of Gunju, of the Butiko clan
  • Nakangu, daughter of Kagenda, of the Mamba clan
  • Nalubowa, daughter of Seggiriinya, of the Ngo (Leopard) clan.
  • Nalunga, daughter of Terwewalwa, of the Nvuma clan.
  • Nawaguma, daughter of Kisuule, of the Tembo? clan

Issue

He is recorded to have fathered three sons:

  • Prince (Omulangira) Kateregga, whose mother was Basuuta
  • Prince (Omulangira) Ngabo, whose mother was Najjuka
  • Prince (Omulangira) Kiboli, whose mother was Nawaguma

The final years

His genial nature made him a more acceptable candidate to men who still remembered the tyranny of Kagulu’s rule.

Kabaka Namuggala abdicated in favor of his younger brother, Kyabaggu Kabinuli, around 1750. He died, following an accidental fall on Nalubugo Hill, after his abdication. He was buried at Muyomba, Busiro.[2]
