ROYAUMES<br />

DE MADAGASCAR<br />

KINGDOMS OF MADAGASCAR<br />

Durant la période de la monarchie malgache, entre 1300<br />

et 1896, on comptait 3 grands royaumes :<br />

Le royaume Sakalava à l’ouest. Andriamisara et son fils<br />

Andriandahifotsy ont été les deux grands monarques de<br />

ce domaine. Suite à des conflits familiaux, ce royaume a<br />

été divisé en deux : d’un côté le royaume de Menabe et de<br />

l’autre celui de Boina. Une fois divisé, il devint vulnérable<br />

face aux attaques des ennemis.<br />

Le royaume Betsimisaraka à l’est. Ramananao fut le<br />

premier roi mais il fut destitué par Ratsimilaho qui se fit<br />

proclamer roi et pris le nom de Ramaromanompo.<br />

Le royaume d’Imerina sur les Hautes Terres centrales.<br />

Fondé par Andriamanelo, le nom « Imerina », signifiant d’où<br />

la vue porte loin, a été attribué par Ralambo. Ce dernier a<br />

ensuite été succédé par Andriamasinavalona qui a partagé<br />

le royaume entre ses quatre fils. Plus tard, suite à une guerre<br />

fraternelle, l'un d’eux, appelé Andrianampoinimerina, fut le<br />

seul souverain du royaume d’Imerina.<br />

During the period of monarchy in<br />

<strong>Madagascar</strong>, between 1300 and 1896,<br />

the country was divided into three large<br />

kingdoms:<br />

The Sakalava kingdom in the west of<br />

the island. Andriamisara and his son<br />

Andriandahifotsy were the two great<br />

monarchs of the period. Following<br />

conflicts in the family, the kingdom was<br />

split in two: the kingdom of Menabe<br />

and that of Boina. Once divided, the<br />

two new kingdoms became vulnerable<br />

to attacks by their enemies.<br />

The Betsimisaraka kingdom in the east. Ramananao<br />

was the first king, but he was deposed by Ratsimilaho,<br />

who had himself proclaimed king and took the name of<br />

Ramaromanompo.<br />

The kingdom of Imerina in the central High Plateaus.<br />

Founded by Andriamanelo, the name Imerina, which<br />

means ‘from where you can see far in the distance’,<br />

was given by Ralambo. The successor to the latter was<br />

Andriamasinavalona, who divided the kingdom up<br />

between his four sons. At a later period, following a war<br />

between them, Andrianampoinimerina, one of the sons,<br />

became the sole sovereign to rule over the kingdom of<br />

Imerina.<br />
