Soyo was a coastal province of the Kingdom of Kongo. Thanks to its location, it played an important role in the contacts between the Kingdom and Europe. Consequently, European influences were more extensive there than in other parts of the country. Capuchins founded their permanent post in Soyo in 1645. After many battles and skirmishes with Kongolese forces, Soyo became, in practical terms, an independent polity in the 1640s. The political elite created their own ideology of power, comprising Christian and traditional local elements. It underlined Soyo identity and separateness achieved thanks to the overcoming of the Kongolese forces.

The article presents a spectacular occurrence of violence in Kongo during the first half of the 17th century related to power struggles, shown mainly on the example of Bernardo II being dethroned by Álvaro III. Executing rivals in such a striking fashion was both meant as a warning to potential rebels against taking similar actions, and as a way to emphasize the monarch’s power. Christianity played also important role in Kongolese ideology of royal power, which obviously did not exclude referring to pre-Christian customs. Despite such actions, the Kongolese monarchs did not manage to gain full control of the territory during the first half of the 17th century or to counteract the revolts.
