Abstract:This article introduces and comments the notes on the history of Ibanda which were given by Muwa Mbaguta, 'as far as he can remember' to F.A. Knowles, then collector at Mbarara, in June 1905. They are set. out here as transcribed by Knowles, the only alterations being the adoption of modern orthography for certain proper and place names. Their value lies in that they would appear to be the earliest written record of what may be described as'a petty theocracy, which existed on the boundary of the kingdoms of Ankole and Toro at the time when those kingdoms first came under affective British administration.
