List of Hawaiian royal consorts

 
Wikipedia: List of Hawaiian royal consorts

A royal consort is a spouse of a monarch. The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi was founded by Kamehameha I (known as Kamehameha the Great) in 1795 after conquering the major islands in the Hawaiian archipelago. His dynasty lasted until Liliʻuokalani was deposed by a pro-United States revolution in 1893. Kamehameha I had numerous wives, perhaps over 21, but Kaʻahumanu was his most favorite wife.

List of Hawaiian royal consorts

Wives of Kamehameha I not mentioned on this list are Queen Keopuolani, his highest ranking wife; Queen Kalakua Kaheiheimaile, sister of Kaahumanu and mother of Kinau and Kamamalu; Queen Miriam Auhea Kekauluohi, step-daughter of Kamehameha, and many others. His son Kamehameha II had five wives: Queen Kamamalu, Queen Kekauluohi, Queen Pauahi, Queen Kinau, and Queen Kekauonohi. Kamehameha III was the first King of Hawaii to not practice polygamy. Queen Emma Naʻea was the first and only hapa haole queen consort and probably is the most well known Hawaiian queen today next to Liliuokalani. John Owen Dominis, a full blood American, was Hawaii's only prince consort by the virtue of his marriage to Liliuokalani. Every one of these consorts except Prince John outlived their spouse.
