Individual Details

LIFE
A. Birth year 1538 estimated with Stokes' standard 20 years, plus 2 years prior to first-born son Kukailani who was Kealiiokaloa's second child by his first mate.
Conflict: Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 108 calculates 1506 as birth year - 11 generations from Kalakaua at 30 years per generation.
B. Oldest son of Umi and successor as high chief of Hawaii (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 100). At death of Umi-a-Liloa, Hawaii was split into 2 kingdoms. Kealiiokaloa reigned in Kona; his brother in Hilo (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 34). Kealiiokaloa was an oppressive ruler, so the people enlisted Keawenui to replace him. The army of Keawenui killed his brother Kealiiokaloa (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 35-36).
C. "There were many chiefs of Hawaii engaged in warfare and many chiefs were killed by the commoners for burdening and confiscating the property of the aforementioned commoners. Kona's people killed Keliiokaloa, son of Umi. Kohala's chiefs, Kamaiole and Kamakaohua were also killed. Therefore the chiefs of Hawaii frequently sailed to live on Oahu, Maui, and Molokai" (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 13-14; Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 75-76).
Note: Kamaiole and Kamakaohua are missing in the genealogy of chiefs.
D. During his reign, "a foreign vessel was wrecked at Keei, in South Kona, Hawaii. The tradition relates that only the captain and his sister reached the shore in safety...." The Spaniards had sent three ships from Mexico, which were "scattered by a severe storm. The two smaller vessels were never heard from.... it seems to be certain that the foreign vessel which was wrecked about this time on the Kona coast must have been one of Saavedra's missing ships" (Alexander, A Brief History of the Hawaiian People, p 98-99).
E. Conflict: Reign of island of Hawaii estimated to be 1525-1535 A.D. (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 31; He Kuauhau Alii o Hawaii Nei, G-9).
F. He died about 1535 A.D. after a reign of not more than 10 years (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 335).
