The Manikongo was the title of the ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo, a kingdom that existed from the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries and consisted of land in present-day Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The Manikongo's seat of power was M'banza-Kongo, (also SĂŁo Salvador from 1570-1975) the present-day capital of Zaire Province in Angola, from where he would appoint govenors for the provinces in the Kingdom and receive tribute from neighbouring subjects.
