- Kapaealakona
Kapae-a-Lakona ruled as the 6th
Alii Aimoku of Oahu . He was the sovereign king or chief of the island ofOahu . During his reign Oahu was divided among the sons ofMaweke , the "Blue Blood Alii" of the northern islands of Oahu, Kauai and Niihau. He and his ancestors were of theNanaulu line, descendant of Nanaulu, the orignal chief who colonized Hawaii in the 6th century prior to the arival of the Ulu line in the 11th century.Kapae was son of
Lakona , grandson ofNawele both of the Nanaulu line of the blue blood northern Hawaiian kings. He followed his father as sovereign of Oahu. Not much is related in the ancient legends. His successor wasHaka of Oahu . Either he was Kapae's son, grandson or great-grandson since it is probably agreed on that three generations elapsed between Kapae and Haka. But in Hawaiian geneology, Haka is known as Kapae's son by his wife Wehina.Reference
