Isingoma Mpuga Rukidi
Isingoma Mpuga Rukidi is remembered in tradition as the first king of the Babito dynasty of Bunyoro-Kitara. The stories present him as a Luo prince from the north who took over the lands of the departed Chwezi, adopted their regalia and rituals and claimed to be their heir; his twin brother is said to have founded the Buganda kingship in some versions. Historians regard the details and dates as uncertain.
