Claim to the throne

He was the third son of Kabaka Kateregga Kamegere, Kabaka of Buganda, who reigned between 1644 and 1674. His mother was Namutebi of the Mamba clan, who was the eighth (8th) of his father's nine wives. He ascended the throne upon the death of his elder brother. He established his capital at Lunnyo. Lunnyo is located near the city of Entebbe, close to where the current Uganda State House stands today.

Married life

He married three wives:

  • Nabbanja, daughter of Kasujja, of the Ngeye clan
  • Nakku, daughter of Walusimbi, of the Ffumbe clan

    • Issue

    He fathered three sons:

  • Prince (Omulangira) Sematimba, whose mother was Nabbanja
  • Prince (Omulangira) Wakayima, whose mother was Nabbanja
  • Prince (Omulangira) Kewumpuli, whose mother was Nakku. He was born limbless and consequently excluded from the succession.

    • The final years

    Kabaka Kayemba died at an advanced age around 1704. He is buried at Nabulagala, Busiro.
