Kimera was the third king of
Buganda. He was born in Kibulala in what was then known as
Bunyoro, but what is today part of Ssingo County, to Prince Kalemeera who had conspired to bear a child with Wannyana of the Nseenene Clan. Legend has it that there was a civil war, in which many if not all male princes were killed, ending with Kalema the grandfather of Kimera. On seeing that all princes were dead, the clans of Buganda had a regent chief who ruled with an iron hand. The clan-chiefs conferred and agreed to bring back royalty, the only Muganda with royal blood and male was Kalema.
