Aaron Kealiʻiahonui (1800–1849) was member of the nobility of the Kingdom of Kauai and the Kingdom of Hawaii. He is often called Keliʻiahonui, a contraction of Kealiʻiahonui. ==Family life== Kealiʻiahonui was born August 17, 1800. His father was Kaumualii, the last ruling King of Kauai. His mother was Kaapuwai Kapuaamoku. His father agreed to become a vassal to Kamehameha I in 1810, so he would never become a ruling monarch. In 1821 his father was forced into exile, and to emphasize the submission, marry Queen Regent Kaahumanu. After his father died in 1824, and his half-brother Humehume led a failed rebellion, Queen Kaahumanu forced Kealiʻiahonui into a similar relationship. Kealiʻiahonui gave up his first wife, Kapule, symbolically married Kaahumanu, and there were no more rebellions from Kauai. The misionaries disliked these forced marriages, and hoped education would convert them. Kealiʻiahonui was described as "...handsome, and naturally and usually more interesting at that period than most of the nobility".〔 Physically he was 6 feet 6 inches tall (2 m) "...considered to be the handsomest chief in the Islands, and was proficient in all athletic exercises".〔 On December 5, 1825, he was part of a royal baptism ceremony where he took the Christian name "Aaron". His name is sometimes also spelled without the first "a" as Keliʻiahonui, which is what was used for his namesake grandnephew, Edward Abnel Keliʻiahonui (1869–1887). After Kaahumanu died in 1832, he married for a third time, to Kekauōnohi, a granddaughter of Kamehameha I and former Queen Consort.〔 He had no children that lived to adulthood. 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「Kealiiahonui」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
