From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Álvaro V of Kongo, was a ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo for a short period in the year 1636.

The king was part of the Kimpanzu kanda. He was a cousin to the founding monarchs of the Kinlaza kanda that would rule the kingdom until the Kongo Civil War. King Alvaro V took power after the poisoning of the young king Alvaro IV. King Alvaro V was jealous of the growing power and status of the future Alvaro VI and his brother.^[1] He raised an army against them and was defeated. The brothers spared him and allowed him to continue on as king.^[1] Six months later, the king made a second attempt, at which he was slain and the throne passed to King Alvaro VI of the Kinlaza.^[1]
