The Mad Queen

There was an evil tyrant named Ranavalona who ruled Madagascar's sacred landscape. Because of her thirty-three-year reign of terror over Madagascar, she was dubbed "evil" by history. During the European expedition, Madagascar's monarch was Queen Ranavalona I.

She was born in 1788 in Madagascar and was also known as Ramavo. She was the daughter of a commoner. She was violent, vicious, and ruthless during her tenure as queen. She assassinated the true heir, her husband, and ascended to the throne herself. She was harsh during her rule, expelling Christian missionaries, terminating treaties with France and England, enslaving many of her own people, and executing anyone who dared to oppose her. The remains of her palace, the Rova of Antananarivo, can be found in the capital. To protect the kingdom's culture, traditions, and independence, Ranavalona launched a reign of terror. More than one-third of her subjects died as a result of her harsh leadership.

Ranavalona, often known as the "Mad Queen of Madagascar" and "Ranavalona the Cruel," was the most brutal queen in history due to her totalitarian control.
