Humehume (c. 1798–1826), known by many different names during his time, such as George Prince, George Prince Kaumualii, Tamoree or Kumoree by American writers, was a son of the king of part of the Hawaiian Islands. He traveled widely, served in the U.S. military, and led a failed rebellion on the island of Kauai. ==Early life== He was born in the late 1790s with the name Humehume. His father was King Kaumualii, ruler of the islands of Kauai and Niihau. His mother was a commoner, of which not much is known. This might explain an important event that happened when he was a young boy. In January 1804 the American trading ship ''Hazard'' arrived at Kauai. Since the landing of Captain James Cook in January 1778, the port of Waimea had been a known stop for European and American ships in the Pacific.〔 King Kaumualii paid Captain James Rowan of the American trading ship ''Hazard'' to take his son aboard, ostensibly to get an education in America. A more believable theory is that Kaumualii's Queen did not want any competition for the future throne with her own son who had the better royal pedigree. His father suggested the name "George" after the Prince of Wales at the time (later George IV of the United Kingdom). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Humehume」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
