The Mad Queen of Madagascar: Ranavalona I

The Mad Queen of Madagascar: Ranavalona I

Today we journey to Madagascar, in the early 1800's at a time when the country was being increasingly fought over by France and Britain. From what I've been able to tell, her story is one that's hard to find the truth on because it's been so exaggerated and twisted by history. I'll give my final opinion at the end, but in most of these stories Ranavalona ranges from being literally the most evil and terrible person in the world, to a hardline ruler and borderline despot.
