History of the kingdom of Baa
Baa is one of the 19 principalities of Rote islands and also the capital of the Rote/Ndao district.`This Raja, or manek is one of the few dynastychiefs, who is installed officially as Raja of his area. Most of the others are just chief of the clan of the raja dynasty.
Like in some other Rote principalities the dynasty has several branches.
For at time the raja was the royal face of Rote,`because no other rajas were installed.
In Baa was also the son of the first and last raja of Rote,`who ruled for some decades before World War II. He lives in a palace. This Prince Wilson Kedoh’s father was asked to become the union raja of total Rote. Because no raja wanted to give in, when giving that dignity to a raja, the dignity was given to a Fettor dynasty member of Landu.
King of Rote, Joel Simon Kedoh (1928-1948) and Empress Regina Amalo in front of their modern art-nouveau palace in Baa, Rote circa 1930.

The surprised farmer, who could not speak Portuguese, introduced himself, “Rote”.
