HISTORY OF THE ROYAL HOUSE IN MADAGASCAR (2) :

 H.M. the King ANDRIANTOMARA (c.1000 AD) was the first known King and the ancestor of the Royal House of Madagascar.

H.M. the King ANDRIANERINERINA (c.1260-1300 AD), who was among his descendants, was the first King of the Kingdom of Imerina and he reigned on the high mountains of Kilonjy and Anerinerina, in the Kingdom of Avaradrano Zokin'Imerina or the Elder of Imerina, in the Central Highlands of Madagascar.

The Royal House of Madagascar dates back, at least, to the days of H.M. the King ANDRIANERINERINA (c.1260-1300 AD) who reigned from the High Mountains of Imerina.

H.M. the King ANDRIAMANJAVONA (c.1300-1325 AD), his descendant who inhabited on the cloudy high mountains, emigrated and reigned in the high mountains of Angavo and H.M. the King ANDRIANANJAVONANA reigned in Anandribe, in the North-East of the Kingdom of Imerina.

H.M. the King ANDRIANAMPONGANDANITRA (c. 1325-1350 AD), his descendant who was like celestial drums, emigrated and reigned in Ifanongoavana, in the South-East of the Kingdom of Imerina.

H.M. the King ANDRIANAMBONIRAVINA (c.1350-1370 AD), his descendant who was on the high foliages, then H.M. the King-Priest ANDRIAMORAONY (c.1370-1380 AD) the Eldest Son of Imerina who was like peaceful waters, followed by H.M. the King ANDRIANDRANOLAVA (c. 1380-1400 AD) who was like an endless river, emigrated and reigned successively in Ambatondrakorikia, in the East of the Kingdom of Imerina.

H.M. the King RAFANDRANA, then H.M. the King RAFANDRANDAVA, next H.M. the King RAMASINDOHAFANDRANA, followed by H.M. the King RAFANDRAMPOHY, after that H.M. the Queen RAFARAMAHERIOMBY, the wife of HRH Prince RAFANDRAMANENITRA, emigrated and reigned succesively in Ampandrana (c.1400-1500 AD), in the South-West of the Kingdom of Imerina.

H.M. the Queen RANGITAMANJAKATRIMOVAVY (c.1500-1525 AD) emigrated and reigned in Imerimanjaka, in the South-South-West of the Kingdom of Imerina.

H.M. the Queen RAFOHY (c.1525-1550 AD) and her son H.M. the King ANDRIAMANELO (c.1550-1575 AD) emigrated and reigned succesively in Alasora, in the South of the Kingdom of Imerina. 

H.M. the King RALAMBO (c.1575-1600 AD) emigrated and reigned in Ambohidray-Ambohimalaza in the East of the Kingdom of Imerina, then he reigned in Ambohidrabiby Hasin'Imerina in the North of the Kingdom of Imerina. He created the Kingdom of Imerina Roa Toko or Imerina with Two Regions. 

Moreover, he established the ranking among the Royal House of Madagascar which can not be changed :

1) Ny Andriantompokoindrindra, the Elder branch.
2)  Ny Zanadralambo amin' Andrianjaka, the cadet branch.
3) Ny Andrianamboninolona.
4) Ny Andriandranando.

In accordance to the values of the Royal House of Madagascar given by H.M. the King ANDRIANTOMARA, then confirmed by H.M. the King ANDRIANERINERINA, only a Prince who is of noble birth by his father and of noble birth by his mother can reign.

Then,  H.M. the King RALAMBO precised that only a Prince who is a direct descendant of H.M. the King-Priest ANDRIANTOMPOKOINDRINDRA (c.1600-1610 AD), the Elder Son of Imerina, owner of the Tranomanara, the Tranofohiloha, and the Tranomasina, the Elder of the Royal House of Madagascar,  and  direct descendant of H.M. ANDRIANJAKA (1610-1630 AD), in Avaradrano Zokin' Imerina, can reign in the Kingdom of Imerina and the Kingdom of Madagascar, and it can not be changed.

"...Blessed are you, O Land, whose king is of noble birth..." (Ecclesiastes 10:17).

"...Behold, a king will reign with righteousness, and princes will rule with justice..." (Isaiah 32:1).

THE ROVA OF ANTANANARIVO : A CULTURAL AND HISTORIC PATRIMONY

The sacred and royal site of the ROVA of ANTANANARIVO (13th Century - 19th Century AD) responds, in all points, to the standards established by all international institutions in charge of the safeguard, the conservation, the valorization and the promotion of heritaged sites and works presenting for the humanity and the identity of a civilization an original and exceptional value.

Necropolis of sovereigns, inviolable site responsible for the sacrements of the royal and princely dignity, acropolis with fortifications and sanctuaries, it is undoubtedly a jewel that carries the pride of an entire nation high.

The ROVA of ANTANANARIVO is a jewel belonging, in an undivided manner, to the whole nation, and it is prohibited for anyone to dispose it, even to the president of the republic, especially not distort its character with the construction of a hideous "coliseum" intended to attract the populace around lucrative, fun and festive events.

Such a rape of the sacred places imbued of the royal sacredness with the proximity of the Besakana Royal Hut, the Royal Palace of Manjakamiadana, the Royal Hut of Mahitsielafanjaka, the location of the Old Royal Palaces, such as the Royal Palaces of Manjakahavana, Manjakatsiroa, Masoandrotsiroa, Mananjara, and other Royal Huts, and by the religiosity two steps away from the Royal Temple must be sanctioned by the cessation of works and the demolition of the said "coliseum".

The Royal House of Madagascar, concerned about the necessary authentic enhancement of an historical, patrimonial and sentimental legacy that their ancestors wanted to transmit for the whole nation  and as intransigent guardians of a value representative of a past carrying the future for the malagasy people, appeals to their foreign cousins but also to the governments and the people of friendly countries of Madagascar, to support their current effort aimed to a perfect rehabilitation of the entire site of the ROVA of ANTANANARIVO and the other sacred and royal sites in Madagascar.

LE ROVA D'ANTANANARIVO: UN PATRIMOINE HISTORIQUE ET CULTUREL:

Le site sacré et royal du ROVA d'ANTANANARIVO (13ème siècle - 19ème siècle) répond en tous points aux normes établies par toutes les instances internationales en charge de la conservation, de la sauvegarde, de la préservation, de la valorisation et de la promotion des sites et oeuvres patrimoniaux présentant pour l'humanité et l'identité d'une civilisation une valeur originale et exceptionnelle.  

Nécropole des souverains, site inviolable chargé des sacrements de la dignité royale et princière, acropole comportant fortifications et sanctuaires, il est incontestablement un joyau qui porte haut la fierté de toute une nation.

Le ROVA d'ANTANANARIVO est un joyau appartenant de façon indivise à la nation entière, il est interdit à quiconque d'en disposer, même au Président de la République,  surtout pas pour en dénaturer le caractère avec l'édification d'un hideux "coliséum" destiné à attirer la populace autour d'évènements lucratifs, ludiques et festifs.

Un tel viol du caractère sacré des lieux imprégnés par la sacralité royale avec la proximité de la Case royale Besakana, le Palais Manjakamiadana, le Palais Mahitsielafanjaka, l'emplacement des anciens Palais Manjakahavana, Manjakatsiroa, Masoandrotsiroa, Mananjara et autres cases royales, et par la religiosité à deux pas du Temple Royal doit être sanctionné par l'arrêt immédiat des travaux et la démolition dudit "Coliseum".

La Maison Royale de Madagascar, soucieuse de la nécessaire valorisation authentique du legs historique, patrimonial et sentimental que leurs ancêtres ont voulu transmettre à la nation entière et en tant que gardiens intransigeants des valeurs représentatives d'un passé porteur d'avenir pour le peuple malagasy, en appellent à leurs cousins étrangers mais aussi aux gouvernements et peuples des pays amis de Madagascar, pour appuyer leurs démarches actuelles visant une parfaite réhabilitation de l'entier site du ROVA d'ANTANANARIVO et de tous les autres sites sacrés et royaux de Madagascar.
