Rulers of the Hawaiian Kingdom

Bios and photos of the rulers of the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1819, when King Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands, to 1917, when Queen Liliuokalani was overthrown.

When King Kamehameha IV died in 1863, the premier, Queen Kaahumanu, assumed the role of monarch of Hawaii, according to the rules of the Hawaiian constitution at that time. She immediately announced that her brother would succeed Alexander Lihiliho to the throne, and Lot Kapuaiwa became King Kamehameha V.
