the battle of kuamoʻo, 1819

Upon the death of Kamehameha the Great, the kingdom mourned his loss. Liholiho sat and ate with mothers, Keōpūolani and Kaʻahumanu, lifting the ʻai kapu. Kekuaokalani, Lholiho's cousin, who Kameha- meha left in charge of Kūkaʻilimoku, his war god, was not pleased with a change as great as this; he wanted to keep the traditions of old in tact. Not seeing eye to eye, a battle took place between them at Kuamoʻo in Kona with Kekuaokalani being killed. Princess Manono, the wife of Kekuaokalani, is remembered in this battle to have fought by the side of her husband to the death. Her words, "Mālama kō aloha [care for your loved one]," that was said to be her last words at that battle, is remembered till today. P a i n t i n g b y : B r o o k K a p ū k u n i a h i P a r k e r lot kapuāiwa, , 1830

Born, Lot Kapuāiwa Kalanimakua Aliʻiōlani Kalani Kapuapaikalani- nui, he was meant to reign as his name entails [ka-lani meaning the high chief]. He was born on December 11, 1830, to High Chiefess, Kīnaʻu, daughter of Kamehameha I and Chief Mataio Kekūanāoʻa. He was hānai by Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena, another daughter of Kamehameha. Commonly known as Prince Lot to the people, he studied both Hawaiian and Western traditions at the Chief's Children's School and traveled abroad with his brother, Alexander. In 1863, upon the passing of his brother, Alexander, he succeeded the throne as King Kamehameha V. It is said, that he ruled as his grandfather, Kamehameha the Great, wanting to keep to tradition. So much so, that he abolished the Constitution of 1852, which lessened the King's power and created the Constitution of 1864, which reinstated power back to the King. Lot died on his 42nd birthday with the wish that Princess Pauahi become his successor. h a w a i i a n k i n g d o m . o r g PRINCESS BERNICE PAUAHI pākī, 1831
