Claim to the throne
The turbulence of Tebandeke's reign is attributable to his mental derangement and his violent nature.
-MM Semakula Kiwanuka.[1]
He was the second son of Kabaka Mutebi I, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1674 and 1680. His mother was Nabukalu of the Lugave clan, the second (2nd) of his father's five (5) wives. He ascended to the throne after the death of his uncle, around 1704. He established his capital at Bundeke.
During his reign, Tebandeke's children were faced with a severe illness and he sent for oracles to establish the cause of the malady. The oracles prescribed a ritual, which the Kabaka performed and the children survived. For this, the oracles demanded a high price for their services and shamed Tebandeke with public demands for their payment. The mortified Kabaka had the oracles put to death and their temples burned down. The Kabaka however was driven mad and ran into the forest.[2]
