Ssuuna II Kalema Kasinjo Mukaabya Sekkyungwa Muteesa Sewankambo Walugembe Mig'ekyaamye Lukeberwa Kyetutumula Magulunyondo Luwambya Omutanda Sseggwanga was Kabaka of the Kingdom of Buganda from 1832 until 1856.
He ascended to the throne upon the death of his father in 1832, having executed all his brothers in order to remain as the sole heir.
Kabaka Ssuuna II continued in the tradition started by his grandfather and copied by his father; the practice of marrying an extraordinary number of wives.
He was a handsome boy, taking after the looks of his mother, Nakkazi Kannyange, reportedly one of the most beautiful women in Buganda at the time.
Only two escaped the carnage: By the time of his death Kabaka Ssuuna II turned out to be one of the most ruthless of the Buganda kings.
Ssuuna put a number of persons to death for breach of his rules, which aroused the ire of a certain medium named Kigemuzi.
The Katikiro, Kayira, the Kabaka's great chiefs and the Queen mother all advised against embarking on a military campaign in a time of famine and small pox.
[5] Despite emerging victorious and driving out the king of Buzongola, the combined effects of war, small pox and famine greatly weakened his armies and most of his men died before reaching Buganda.
[6] "He was a very cruel man: he was brave in war, he was a hunter of wild animals and very fond of hunting dogs.
Set on a hilltop with beautiful surroundings, Wamala is the sacred burial place of Kabaka Ssuuna II, who had 148 wives and 218 children.
