Question

Works by Capuchin friars such as Giovanni Cavazzi da Montecuccolo (“mon-tay-KOO-ko-lo”) are an important source for the history of this state. The son of a ruler of this state was appointed bishop in partibus infidelium of Utica. A woman from this state recovered from an illness possessed by (10[1])Saint Anthony and led (-5[1])her followers (10[2])to (10[1])occupy the (10[1])abandoned capital of São Salvador. (10[2])King Pedro (10[1])IV of this state (10[1]-5[2])ordered the prophet (10[1]-5[1])Kimpa Vita (10[3])to be burned (10[2])at the stake. (10[1]-5[1])Catholicism became entrenched (-5[1])in this state (10[2]-5[1])during the rule of (10[1])Afonso (10[4]-5[2])I. (10[14]-5[12])Following (10[2]-5[1])a dispute (-5[1])with (10[1])this state, Portugal (10[1]-5[1])moved (10[1])the bishop’s (10[1])seat (-5[3])at this state’s (-5[2])capital to the nearby colonial city of Luanda. (10[5]-5[6])This (10[1])kingdom’s lineage (10[1]-5[2])of Christian (10[1])kings (10[5])began with the (10[1])conversion (10[3])of (10[1]-5[2])Nzinga-a-Nkuwu. (10[4])For 10 points, (10[2])name this kingdom (10[1])that was located (10[1]-5[1])to the south of a namesake Central (0[1])African (10[1])river. (10[3])■END■ (10[30]0[9])
