Busoga

Busoga was the region of the Soga chiefdoms east of the Victoria Nile. It lay between Lake Kyoga and Lake Victoria in 1337.

According to tradition, the Bunyoro prince Namutukula settled at Kagulu in the sixteenth century; he worked iron there before returning toward Bunyoro, leaving his sons to rule Bulamogi, Kigulu and Bugabula. Bunyoro's Biito princes established themselves in the north, while Buganda influenced the south; the chiefdoms remained without a common ruler throughout this period.
