Season 4 Episode 5: Ralambo, the Miracle Child

<p>Of all seven of the king&apos;s children, Ralambo was the only son to survive into adulthood. Emerging into a world through a miraculous birth, Ralambo&apos;s rule would be miraculous in its own right. From transforming his country&apos;s views on marriage, completely rewriting its system of religious worship, and setting up the foundations of its future class system, Ralambo&apos;s rule could be argued to be the true beginning of the Merina Kingdom.</p><a rel="payment" href="https://patreon.com/historyofafrica">Support the show</a>
