Nkore

Nkore was a kingdom east of Lake Edward in what is now southwestern Uganda. Its early core lay around Isingiro, and tradition names Ruhinda as an early king of the Hinda lineage.

During Ntare IV's reign from 1699 to 1727, Nkore expanded north to the Katonga River and took Kabula from Bunyoro. Kings drew cattle and military service from their followers, while commanders led the kingdom's military units.
