Kalākua Kaheiheimālie, later known as Hoapili Wahine (c. 1778–1842) was a member of Hawaiian royalty who was one of the Queen consorts at the founding of the Kingdom of Hawaii. She was mother of another Queen consort, and grandmother of two future kings. Some sources call her Kaheihei''maile'' rather than Kaheihei''mālie''. "Mālie" means serene while the "maile" is the vine ''Alyxia olivaeformis''. The second spelling seems to be older and more appropriate. ==Life== She was born c. 1778 into a noble (''ali'i'') family of Maui. Her father was Keeaumoku Pāpaiahiahi, a noble from Hawaii Island. Her mother was Nāmāhānai Kaleleokalani, the former consort of her half-brother the late king of Maui, Kamehameha Nui. From her mother she was a member of the royal house of Maui. Her siblings included Hawaii island Governor John Adams Kuakini, Queen Kaahumanu, Maui Governor George Cox Kahekili Keeaumoku II, and Lydia Namahana Piia. Her father became an advisor and friend to Kamehameha I, eventually becoming royal governor of Maui. He arranged for her sister Kaahumanu to marry the king when she was thirteen; she would be the most powerful leader of the kingdom for several decades. First Kaheiheimālie married Prince Kalaimamahu, Chief Priest of Io and Kāne. He was a brother of Kamehameha I. They divorced around 1795 and she married her former brother-in-law King Kamehameha I in a ceremony known as ''Hoao-Wohi''. She was part of the court of Kamehameha I that met George Vancouver during his expedition in 1794 and agreed to the first treaty with Great Britain. She had two sons and two daughters by her second marriage to Kamehameha I. Her first son Prince Liholiho-i-Kaiwi-o-Kamehameha was born about 1795 and died as an infant, and second son Prince Kamehameha Kapauaiwa was born about 1801 and died as an infant.〔Hawaiian historian Samuel Kamakau mentions only one son named Kamehameha Iwi while John Papa Īī also mention one son but calls him Kekūāiwa or Lunalilo instead; it gets even more confusing since Kekūāiwa is also another name for her daughter Kamāmalu.〕 Her daughter Kamāmalu (c. 1802–1824) married Liholiho and became Queen consort when Liholiho became King Kamehameha II. Her youngest daughter Kīnau (c. 1805–1839) succeed her aunt Kaahumanu, Kalākua's sister, as Kuhina Nui, co-ruling Hawaii with Kamehameha II. Her daughter from her first marriage with Kalaimamahu was Kekāuluohi (c. 1794–1845) who succeeded Kīnaʻuas the third Kuhina Nui, styled as Kaahumanu III. Through her daughters Kīnaʻu and Kekāuluohi she was grandmother of three more kings: Kamehameha IV, Kamehameha V, and Lunalilo. She married for the third time at Honolulu, October 19, 1823, to Ulumāheihei Hoapili who was the Governor of Maui. She became a late convert to Christianity and took the name "Miriam" along with her oldest daughter. She was described as physically being "...tall and gigantic" like her siblings. She was known as Hoapili-wahine or "Mrs. Hoapili". She served as Governor of Maui 1840-1842 after her husband's death, and was a founding member of the House of Nobles in 1841. She died on Maui, January 16, 1842 and was buried at Moku'ula. Her remains were later moved to the nearby Wainee Cemetery beside her last husband Hoapili.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Burials in Waialoa Cemetery )〕 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「Kalākua Kaheiheimālie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
