Álvaro III Nimi a Mpanzu, also known as Álvaro III Mbiki a Mpanzu, ruled as king or manikongo of the Kingdom of Kongo from August of 1615 to May 4, 1622. Prior to becoming king, he had served as Duke of Mbamba.^[1] Like his predecessor, Bernardo II he was a son of King Álvaro II.^[2] King Álvaro III was the fourth ruler from the royal house of Kwilu established by King Álvaro I.
