LIFE
A. When his father Keawe died, the island kingdom of Hawaii was split into 3; he ruled as chief of Kau and Puna (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 45).
B. He shared rule of Hawaii with Kaikilani (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 114). His reign of the island of Hawaii is estimated to be 1565-1595 A.D. (Kalakaua, The Legends and Myths of Hawaii, p 31; He Kuauhau Alii o Hawaii Nei, G-9.
Conflict: "Lono-i-ka-makahiki of Hawaii ruled jointly with his older brother Kanaloa-kua-ana; Lono-i-ka-makahiki, over Ka'u, Puna, and Hilo; Kanaloa-kua-ana, over Kona, Kohala, and Hamakua" (Kamakau, Tales and Traditions of the People of Old, p 75). He was "Alii-Aimoku (King by conquest)" (Descendants of Prince Keeaumoku I, Hms G65, Chart 5).
C. Order of mates: He was with Kaikilani for 9 years until she died and then he was with Kaikilanimaipanio (McKinzie, Hawaiian Genealogies, vol 2 p 101). McKinzie states that he and Kaikilani had no children.
D. Lono was jealous of others remarking of Kaikilani's beauty. He would beat her out of this jealously. Others were jealous and teased her. In one such case, they pretended she had a lover, which caused a rage in Lono in which he beat her to death. In grief for his mate, he traveled the islands to Kauai where he lost his mind and wandered the wilderness for a time. One friend, Kapa-ihi-a-hilina stayed with him until Lono regained sanity and returned to his kingdom. (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 47-48)
E. Contemporaries: Kamalalawalu of Maui and Kakuhihewa of Oahu (Fornander, An Account of the Polynesian Race, vol 2 p 116-117). Kaihikapu-a-Kuihewa and Kanekapu-a-Kuihewa of Oahu. Also, Ke-aloha-iki-kaupe'a and Ka-uhi-a-hiwa and Kawelo-ahu, who were chiefs of Kauai (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 52).
F. Lono died after the battle with Kama. "His name was made famous through the Makahiki god, Lono-i-ka-ou-alii, and [he] was thus thought of the god of the Makahiki celebration. The name Lono was combined with the word Makahiki, thus making it Lono-i-ka-Makahiki" (Kamakau, Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii, p 61).
