From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andriantsimitovyamynyandriana Andriandrazaka was King of Avaradrano (now part of Madagascar from 1710 to 1730 and of Ambohitrabiby after defeating his brother. He was a son of King Andriamasinavalona, the King of Imerina, and Queen Ratompoindraoandriana.

He was granted Avaradrano by his father, where he established Ambohimanga as his capital. He became an independent king upon his father's death and the partition of Merina, from which he received the largest piece. He fought many times against his brother, King Adrianmanotronavalonimerina, whom he eventually defeated and whose kingdom he annexed.

Sometime during his life he adopted Andriambelomasina, who would later succeed him as king.

His wives included Queen Rampanambonitany and Queen RavolondRalambo II. He died ca. 1730 at Ambohimanga.
