Kanaʻina

Kanaʻina High Chief Charles Kanaʻina and High Chiefess Kekāuluohi “are among the most interesting of the aristocracy; and, of their claims to respect and attention, we needed no other proof, than that afforded on the present occasion.” They had two sons, Davida (who died quite young) and William. His mother was ambitious for William and she said others are high in rank but this is highest of all and he shall be named "Lunalilo". He was a student at the Chiefs’ Children’s School; later he was elected the first reigning monarch and served as King Lunalilo.
