  • Andrianjaka reigned over the Kingdom of Imerina in the central highlands region of Madagascar from around 1612 to 1630. Despite being the younger of King Ralambo's two sons, Andrianjaka succeeded to the throne on the basis of his strength of character and skill as a military tactician. The most celebrated accomplishment of his reign was the capture of the hill of Analamanga from a Vazimba king. There he established the fortified compound (rova) that would form the heart of his new capital city of Antananarivo. Upon his orders, the first structures within this fortified compound (known as the Rova of Antananarivo) were constructed: several traditional royal houses were built, and plans for a series of royal tombs were designed. These buildings took on an enduring political and spiritual significance, ensuring their preservation until being destroyed by fire in 1995. Andrianjaka obtained a sizable cache of firearms and gunpowder, materials that helped to establish and preserve his dominance and expand his rule over greater Imerina. Many of the cultural practices that were to define Merina social and political life for centuries are credited to Andrianjaka. He designated the twelve sacred hills of Imerina that were to become the spiritual and political heartland of the Merina empire, contributing to the establishment of the kingdom's traditional boundaries; clans were assigned to specific regions within his kingdom, further defining the cultural landscape. He consolidated power through such measures as appropriating the folk tradition of sampy (community talismans), thereby ensuring all the powers traditionally attributed to these idols were under the control of the sovereign alone. Merina traditions related to the burial and mourning of sovereigns are also traced back to Andrianjaka's reign. (en)
  • Andrianjaka (* vor 1610; † 1630), der Sohn von Ralambo, regierte das Imerina im Herzen von Madagaskar von 1610 bis zu seinem Tod 1630. Andrianjaka nahm 1610 den Hügel Analamanga (blauer Wald) auf der höchsten Erhebung des heutigen Antananarivo ein und vertrieb die dort ansässigen Vazimba und ihren König Andriambodilova, der sich anschließend in Ambohimanarina niederließ, wo er auch beigesetzt wurde. Andrianjaka rodete den blauen Wald und baute auf dem Hügel Analamanga seinen Königssitz, den ersten Palast auf dem Gelände des heutigen Rova und gründete damit die Hauptstadt von Madagaskar, Antananarivo. Er wünschte sich, dass sie tausend würden, wovon sich der Name Antananarivo (ho arivo an-tanana, arivo = 1000) ableitet.Andrianjaka hatte nur einen Sohn Andriantsitakatrandriana, der ihm in der Herrschaft folgte.

  • Andrianjaka was een Merina en koning van het Koninkrijk Imerina in Madagaskar in de periode van circa 1612 tot 1630. Hij was de tweede zoon van koning Ralambo, maar wist door zijn sterk karakter en militaire kwaliteiten zijn vader op te volgen. Andrianjaka is in Madagaskar vooral bekend om zijn verovering van de heuvel van Analamanga, dat voor die tijd in de handen van de Vazimba was. Hier bouwde hij zijn rova, dat de nieuwe hoofdstad zou worden van het Koninkrijk Imerina, namelijk Antananarivo. Door de aanschaf van een grote hoeveelheid vuurwapens en buskruit die Andrianjaka kocht van Europese handelaren werd zijn leger een machtig middel om zijn macht te consolideren en het Koninkrijk Imerina uit te breiden.
