I never heard of her before. And I'm sure that a number of people haven't either, which is why I really love bringing attention to these kinds of things. Sometimes I wonder if it's better to just be a person that nobody writes about because then you can be in control of your own story. Joseph Bruce Mj was the highest ranking officer to survive the sinking of the Titanic and was vilified by the media as a villain. He has been character assassinated for years.
In 1828, after the death of her husband, Queen Ranavalona I. came into power by killing all other potential regents (wives, sons, mothers). At that time, she was between 30 and 40 years old. Ranavalona I. went down in history rather ingloriously and bears the surname “the cruel”. Many Malagasy call her regency tany maizina, in English “years of darkness”. But despite this she is still a rather complex character. One who did amazing and terrible things at the same time. Let us tell her story today
