His mother was ''Nabakyala'' Muganzirwazza, the ''Namasole'', one of the 148 recorded wives of his father. He ascended the throne upon the death of his father in October 1856. According to historian MSM Kiwanuka, Muteesa was "an insignificant obscure prince", compared to his brothers Prince Kajumba and Prince Kiyimba. Kajumba was his father's preferred heir, as Suuna frequently pointed out to his chiefs the heroic qualities of the prince.
