Besøkt 5. august 2020. «In Généalogies de la noblesse (les Batutsi) du Ruanda, Léon Delmas states that the dynasty of the Banyiginya was founded in 1100 by Gihanga (1995, 8-10). Jan Vesina notes that "the present Republic of Rwanda has its origin in a kingdom that founded in the 17th century and was dominated by the Nyiginya dynasty until the coup of 1896 which broke the power of the Nyiginya aristocracy lineages" (20 Apr. 2001). | A journalist for the Belgian newspaper Le Soir who has published several works on the African Great Lakes region provided the following information during a 24 October 2002 telephone interview. | The clan of Abanyiginya is the clan of the former kings of Rwanda. However, sources provide contradictory information about its origin. Many among them agree that the Rwandan kingdom was founded between the 15th and the 17th centuries. While some internal divisions emerged among the members of the royal house in 1896, the dynasty of Abanyiginya also known as the Nyiginya dynasty, reigned from the time of its foundation until the country become the Republic of Rwanda in the beginning of the 1960s.»
