Boina

Boina was a Sakalava kingdom centred on Boina Bay in northwestern Madagascar. It did not yet exist in 1337; its founders later came from Menabe.

Around 1690 Andriamandisoarivo left Menabe after a succession dispute and founded Boina. Its kings claimed sacred authority, and Antankarana paid them tribute. King Andrianamboniarivo employed Tom Similaho, the son of an English pirate and a Malagasy woman, as chief minister. Imerina occupied Boina after 1832, and its last queen, Tsiomeko, came to the throne in 1836.
