  Buganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kabaka Freddie, who had been regarded by his subjects as uninterested in their welfare, now refused to cooperate with Cohen's plan for an integrated Buganda.
The kabaka had to be Protestant, and he was invested in a coronation ceremony modeled on that of British monarchs (who are invested by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury) that took place at the main Protestant church.
The kabaka was also promised the largely ceremonial position of head of state of Uganda, which was of great symbolic importance to the Baganda.

It is legitimate to attribute both the special washing and drying of the kabaka's corpse, and the human sacrifice, not to any special supernatural status of the kabaka but simply to the need to give, to both his corpse and his ghost, treatment appropriate to the honour with which he was held in life.

Ostensibly Kabaka Mutesa's envoy was to make blood brotherhood with Makumbi, the leader of the Nkore delegation and the surviving legitimate claimant to the throne, something which is only undertaken in good faith from both sides; however, the envoy had secret instructions to kill as many as possible of Makumbi's supporters.

Publicly, today in Uganda the martyrdom of the young men of the kabaka's court is presented in terms of a religious/political conflict: In accepting the higher authority of God, they denigrated the ultimate authority of the monarch and had to be put to death.
