Pedro_V_of_Kongo_(Usurper) References

Pedro V Ntivila a Nkanga was a ruler of the throne of the Kingdom of Kongo and a member of the Kimpanzu house. He ruled Kongo from 1763 to 1764, after he overthrew Sebastião I, when Pedro refused to relinquish the Kimpanzu claims to the throne.^[1] This overthrow resulted in the breakdown of the rotating houses system put in place by Pedro IV.^[2] His reign was short-lived, however, and after he was in turn overthrown by Álvaro XI, he was removed from the official records, evidenced by the ascension of the official Pedro V in 1859. It is most likely due to the fact that he claimed the throne at the same time as Álvaro IX, though he kept his claim on the throne even after his removal.^[3]
