Nzinga assumed power in Ndongo in 1624 following the death of her brother Mbandi, who had previously delegated duties to her due to depression.
By 1624, King Mbandi had fallen into a deep depression and ceded many duties to Nzinga. That same year, he died of mysterious causes, with accounts citing suicide or poisoning. Nzinga subsequently assumed power over Ndongo, beginning her reign as queen of the Ambundu Kingdoms.
