List of rulers of Luba

The Kingdom of Luba (1585–1889), which emerged in the marshy grasslands of the Upemba Depression in what is now southern Congo around 1585, initially began as a kingdom. Over time, through a combination of conquests, strategic marriages, and alliances, it expanded its territory and influence, eventually transforming into a significant empire. This growth in territory and power allowed the Luba state to elevate its status from a kingdom to an empire.
