Ngamaru Rongotini Ariki (c. 1831 – 31 March 1903) was a sovereign of the Cook Islands. He was the ''ariki'' of the ''Ngamaru'' dynasty on the island of Atiu, one of the chiefdoms of ''Ngaputoru'', which consisted of three adjoining islands —Atiu, Mitiaro, and Mauke. In the 1860s he married Makea Takau, a princess of Rarotonga. In 1871 Makea Takau became ''ariki'' of Rarotonga and queen regnant of the newly established Kingdom of Rarotonga, as a consequence making Ngamaru prince consort of the realm of the united Cook Islands. He was Representative of Atiu, Mitiaro and Mauke in the Federal Council and also a native Judge of the Ariki's Court at Avarua. Ngamaru was a man of strong personal character, and had the happy knack of settling troublesome matters with a jocular remark. He was also a commercial power to his people, being an inter-island trader with a schooner of his own.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Shipping Notes )〕 Prince Ngamaru died of blood poisoning after an injury to his hand, he was 72 years of age.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Marlborough Express )〕 He was buried in Queen Makea's private graveyard at Para O Tane Palace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Death of Ngamaru Ariki )〕 ==See also== * Kingdom of Rarotonga * History of the Cook Islands * House of Ariki 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「Ngamaru Rongotini Ariki」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
