Tsiomeko of Boina

Tsiomeko of Boina

Tsiomeko (1828 - 1843) was the last Queen and monarch of Boina.

Tsiomeko was the daughter of Taratra and a grand-niece of King Andriantsoly, who was driven out of Boina by Hova and whom her father had served as a "souer". She became queen in 1836, at age eight, succeeding Queen Oantitsy, the sister of King Andriantsoly. In 1839 she was driven out of her residence by Hova and fled to Nossi-Comba. There, she asked for French protection and Admiral de Hell signed a deal with the queen to make Boina a French protectorate.

Tsiomeko ceased to be Queen when her Kingdom was annexed to Madagascar in 1840. She died in 1843.
