A small kingdom of the Swazi people in the 19th century in eastern southern Africa, now Swaziland. According to legend, the ancestors of the Swazi people are said to be Nguni-speaking people who moved south along the east coast in the 16th century, passed through the Lubombo Mountains, and settled in what is now Swaziland and northern Natal. In the early 19th century, Mswati I (Sobhuza) ascended to the throne, and using iron extracted from the region to prepare weapons and military organizations, he gradually moved northward while countering attacks by the Zulu people from the south.

19世紀に南部アフリカ東部,現在のスワジランドにあったスワジSwazi族の小王国。伝承によると,16世紀にヌグニ語系の人々が東海岸に沿って南下し,ルボンボ山脈を通り現在のスワジランドと北部ナタールに定着したのが,スワジ族の祖先といわれている。19世紀初頭ムスワティ1世Mswati I(ソブフザSobhuza)が王位につき,同地域から採れる鉄を使って武器と軍事組織を整え,南方のズールー族の攻撃に対抗しながらしだいに北方に移動した。
