After the death of Radama I in 1828, there was turmoil as to who should become sovereign. Some parties supported Raketaka's claim to the throne.[5] However, power was assumed by her step-mother, the king's first wife, Ranavalona I.[6] She believed that there was not enough popular support for any of her step-daughters, particularly Raketaka, who was very young.[3] She did put two men to death for giving vocal support to Raketaka assuming the throne.[citation needed] Supporters of Radama wanted to manipulate the infant Raketaka and rule behind the scenes.[7] However many relatives of the king were killed by Ranavalona to ensure her own accession was secure, but Raketaka was spared because she had Sakalava ancestry.[8] Raketaka was present at her father's funeral.[9]
