Nzinga Mbemba of Kongo, also known as King Afonso I.

He was the sixth ruler of the Kingdom of Kongo (now Angola) from the Lukeni Kanda dynasty. He reigned in the first half of the 16th Century, from 1506 to his death in 1542. He is called “the Apostle of Kongo” for his role in making Kongo a Christian Kingdom in the 1480s.

One can say Afonso was oblivious and unaware of the impact his friendly relationship with the Portuguese would cause his Kingdom.
