  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.

 BUGANDA
Although stated to be the founder of the ruling dynasty, it now appears that his male line descendants died out or were driven from their patrimony during the second half of the fourteenth century.
The true founder of the dynasty is Kimera, claimed to be a grandson of Kabaka Chwa I, through his son and heir, Prince Kalemera through an illicit liaison with the Lady Wannyana, wife of Omukama Winyi I of Bunyoro-Kitara.
Continuing unrest and brutality by the reigning Kabaka Mwanga II led to his deposition in 1897, and exile to the Seychelles.
