Maisha yake
[hariri | hariri chanzo]Alipambana na Ureno kwa msaada wa Uholanzi miaka 30 na hatimaye akatia saini mkataba nao.
Alibatizwa mwaka 1622, lakini baada ya kumrithi kaka yake (1627) aliasi kabisa na kuongoza muda mrefu. Aliongokea tena Kanisa Katoliki mwaka 1656, jambo lililoshangaza sana waliofahamu maisha yake ya awali. Hapo alijitahidi kugeuza ufalme wake kuwa wa Kikristo, akiagiza watu wahubiriwe na akisimamisha misalaba kila mahali.
