Manabondro

Manabondro was a coastal settlement in southeastern Madagascar, later the homeland of the Temanambondro branch of the Antaisaka. In 1337 the later Antaisaka kingdom had not yet formed.

Between 1620 and 1650, members of the Sakalava royal line crossed from Menabe to the east coast. The exiled prince Andriamandresy led warriors and slaves to Nosipandra, where they built a kingdom. In the eighteenth century Lengoabo extended it to its greatest extent; from 1820 Merina armies invaded, taking many women and children into slavery.
