The Vazimba were specifically warned not to cook Andrianerinerina s sheep because he couldn t consume their flesh, but one was nonetheless butchered and cooked in a stew that was served to him. By unwittingly eating the forbidden mutton, Andrianerinerina was no longer able to return to the heavens to rejoin his father. As a consequence, Zanahary gave the Vazimba a choice to untie the threads of their lives or to accept Andrianerinerina as their lord and master. They chose to accept to serve Andrianerinerina rather than be destroyed by Zanahary, who then sent down one of his daughters as a wife to Andrianerinerina, and the royal line was begun. ref Ottino, P. 1983 .

It is named for the 18th century Sakalava kingdom of Menabe. The capital is Morondava . History Menabe is the southern part of the Sakalava territory. Tradition holds that it was founded by Adriamandazoala reigned c1540 1560 . Its territory was increased under the legendary Andriandahifotsy c1610 1685 . It thus became the strongest kingdom in Madagascar until the mid 18th century. Among its most famous rulers was Ranaimo or Andriandrainarivo ruled 1718 1727 who is known through the memoirs of Europeans such as Robert Drury Sailor Robert Drury , James Cook , Barnvelt 1719 , Valentyn 1726 . Though handsome and imposing he was a paralytic. Radama I would conduct three ravaging campaigns in the kingdom of Menabe in 1820, in 1821 and finally in 1822. Finally, Ramitraho king of Menabe at the time, sued for peace by giving his daughter Rasalimo to Radama as his wife. But peace would not follow until Rasalimo offered another peace treaty in 1827. Unfortunately Radama died before negotiations could finish. Eventually the Merina conquered and subjugated the southern Menabe territories in 1834 right after Ramitraho s death. Constant war would ensue culminating with a Merina victory in 1846. Queen Ranavalona I then garrisoned major Menabe towns and sent farmers to colonize the area. Menabe rulers were allowed to keep their authority but under the local Merina governor. The northern Menabe largely escaped Merina authority and stayed independent despite the fact that they no longer posed any threat to the monarchy in Antananarivo . During the Franco Hova War French invasion of Madagascar the Menabe kings united their forces. On August 14, 1897 and August 30, 1897 the 100 Menabe chiefs with 10,000 warriors armed with rifles met the French troops in Anosimena and Ambiky. King Toera was killed along wit ... more details
