Mswati II
Mswati II (otherwise known as Mswazi, Mavuso or Mdvuso) (c. 1820 – 1868) was the king of Swaziland between 1840 and 1868. He was also the eponym of Swaziland. Called by the anthropologist Hilda Kuper "the greatest of the Swazi fighting kings," Swaziland reached its greatest territorial extent under Mswati II (Kuper (1980 [1947]). He was the son of Sobhuza I of Swaziland. He was married to Tsandzile Ndwandwe, who acted as regent after his death. In 1864 he assisted the Boers in their attack on the Poko people of Transvaal.[1]
