Kaumualii (c. 1778–May 26, 1824) was the last independent alii nui (supreme ruler of the island) of Kauai and Niihau before becoming a vassal of Kamehameha I of the unified Kingdom of Hawaii in 1810. He was the 23rd high chief of Kauai, reigning from 1794-1810. Although he was sometimes known as George Kaumualii, he should not be confused with his son who is more commonly known by that name. In Hanamaulu, the King Kaumualii Elementary School is named after Kauai's last reigning chief. ==Family== Kaumualii was the only son of Queen Kamakahelei, aliI nui of Kauai and Niihau, and her husband, Alii Kāeokūlani (c. 1754–1794), regent of Maui and Molokai. Kāeokūlani was the younger son of Kekaulike, the 23rd Alii Aimoku and Moi of Maui. He became the co-king and effectively ruler of Kauai by his marriage. When Kamakahelei died in 1794, he passed their titles and positions to the 16-year-old Kaumualii, who reigned under the regency of Chief Inamoo until he came of age. His first wife and queen was his half-sister Kawalu of Oahu. His second wife was his niece Kaapuwai Kapuaamoku of Kōloa, and finally the queen regent Kaahumanu (1768–1832), Kamehameha's widow. 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「Kaumualii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
