		Besides the famous Maravi migrations which took place at the beginning of the period with which the paper is concerned, there were three large-scale migrations or mass movements of people into the area along the western coast of Lake Malawi in pre-colonial times on which we shall be focusing.
		Even the advent of the Maravi state builders at the end of this period, that is, close of the fifteenth century or beginning of the sixteenth appears to have changed little at the agricultural level.
		In view of what has been said about developments of the Maravi period, it appears that the first migration to have been associated with fundamental changes in the area of agriculture was that of the Ngulube, the people who established ruling lines or families among the Ngonde.

		One year later, he was overthrown by his brother, the army commander Rainilaiarivony, who became the next prime minister, and secured his position by marrying the queen, and both of the queens that came after her, Ranavalona II (1868-83) and Ranavalona III (1883-97).
		Being both ruthless and pious, he devoted his reign to restoring the Abyssinian nation; he invited European craftsmen to help modernize the country, and did much to reduce the power of the local barons, but he was also subject to fits of madness, and that eventually led to his undoing.

		The people who speak Chi-Chewa, known as A-Chewa, trace their origins to a group of people known as the Maravi (according to some Portuguese records) who migrated from the lower basin of the Congo in Central Africa and eventually settled in the land mass now covered by Malawi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
		Pushed by wars, disease and other maladies from the Congo area the Maravi were the first group of Bantu peoples to move and settle in present day Malawi in the 16th century.
		Other Bantu groups such as the Tumbuka, Tonga, Yao, Lomwe, and Ngoni moved into Malawi long after the Maravi group had successfully established itself (see Kalipeni, E. According to Young (1949), the Maravi are by lineage the aristocrats of this part of Africa.
