Yuhi III Mazimpaka was the Mwami (King) of kingdom of Rwanda from 1642-1675. He is remembered as having been an exceptionally handsome young King.He was a highly intelligent and creative man.He is said to have been a painter with words (''umusizi'')/poet and a prophet.He revealed from his dreams the coming of a pale race of people in many years after his death that would lead to the downfall of his kingdom. King Yuhi III commissioned a construction of a three storeyed house made of tree trunks,reeds and grass straws at a place known as ''Kamonyi''. It is thought to have been the first storeyed house ever built in Rwanda. He suffered occasional mental illness due to his combination of intensive meditations/envisioning and the daily running of the Kingdom. He died from a leg injury which he sustained from an attempt to dive from a high rock into a lake where he had gone to swim.〔Alexis Kagame.Un abrege de l'ethno histoire du Rwanda〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yuhi III Mazimpaka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
