Angoupamba Kiyamba was the 20th king of the Angom dynasty in Ancient Kangleipak (now Manipur).[1] He is known for wearing Ureksek Chasangba (egret’s feather which had been dyed red, especially reserved for Meitei kings) and killing the Meitei king Nonginphaba.[2][3]
Early life
Angoupamba Kiyamba was born in 1467 CE, the same year Meitei king Kiyamba ascended the throne of the Ningthouja dynasty. Meitei king Lamkiyamba was also born in that year.[4] Angoupamba Kiyamba was the son of Angoupamba Pansha Ngamba and Mangsha Ngambi.[5]
Conflict with the Meitei queen
Queen Chaningphaba, the mother of the Meitei king Nonginphaba was taken to wife by Angoupamba Kiyamba, the king of Angom after the Meitei king Lamkiyamba died. When he decorated himself with Ureksek Chasangpa, Chaningphabi told him that he, being from the house of Angom, was not allowed to wear it. In anger, Angoupamba Kiyamba killed both Nonginphaba and his mother. Both died at the village of Aakakum.[4][5]
