Kongo
Note: Although the Kongo Kingdom encompassed a large area in present-day Congo (Kinshasa), it is recorded here because its capital city has always been in present-day Angola. The record for the 18th and early 19th century is very obscure and there are conflicting lists of rulers and dates up to Pedro V.
