	Battle of Mbwila - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At the Battle of Mbwila (or Battle of Ambuila) on October 29, 1665, Portuguese forces defeated the forces of the Kingdom of Kongo and decapitated king Antonio I of Kongo, also called Vita Nkanga, ending native rule of that kingdom.
		After the battle, the head of the king or Manikongo was buried with ceremony by the Portuguese in a chapel situated on the Bay of Luanda, and the crown and scepter of Kongo were sent to Lisbon as trophies.
		After the death of the king, his lieutenants, and his African Capuchin chaplain in the battle, the country disintegrated into civil wars and minor kingdoms.
