MON NZINGA Duarte (1618)

1618 - 1669  (51 years)

• Name	MON NZINGA Duarte (1618)
  	Duarte Mon Nzinga (male child of Nzinga) and Njinga Mona Imbangala were born possibly as twins. Duarte was the product of an arranged marriage between Nzinga Mbande and the king of the Imbangala kingdom. It is very possible that he was taken at birth as a ransom and raised in a church somewhere in Portugal. It is probable that the church where he was schooled gave him the christian name " Duarte" It appears that he was educated as when he was forced to sign papers of indenture, he had the presence of mind to keep the papers. This led to his case being the first legal action for freedom won by a black man in Virginia. Had Duarte not been enslaved he would have followed his grandfather as a king of the Ngolo.
