Radama I
1793 CE–1828 CE · Antananarivo
Radama I became king of Imerina in 1810 and extended Merina authority over much of Madagascar during his reign. Backed by a treaty with Britain, he reorganized his army, welcomed missionaries of the London Missionary Society, and supported schools and the first written form of the Malagasy language in Latin script. His policies opened the island to greater European contact and to literacy before his death in 1828. He is regarded as a founder of the unified Malagasy state.
