Muna

Muna, or Wuna, was a kingdom of the Muna people on an island off Sulawesi. Local tradition dated its foundation to around 1210, when eight villages united at Kotano Wuna under their first king, La Eli.

Sugi Manuru's son Lakilaponto went to Buton in 1520, converted to Islam and ruled there as Sultan Murhum. Muna later became Muslim and one of Buton's four guardian kingdoms. In the late 1700s Wa Ode Kadingke, aided by Buton and Tiworo, overthrew La Ode Sumaeli; her young son succeeded under a regent.
