Lundu

Lundu was a Maravi kingdom associated with the Mang'anja of the Shire valley.

After a succession dispute, Lundu, a relative of the Kalonga, left and founded a kingdom. In the late sixteenth century Lundu allied with the Zimba, who fought the Portuguese. Kalonga Muzura conquered Lundu's polity with Portuguese help in 1622. By the late eighteenth century the original Lundu kingdom was based in the Lower Shire valley and threatened by Portuguese slave traders.
