Queen Salamasina was the first sovereign ruler of Samoa; she was descended from the Kings of Tonga, the High Chiefs of Samoa and Fiji. She was the first female to attain all of the four paramount royal titles and become the tafaifa or supreme monarch of Samoa. She reigned for nearly 10 decades of peace after many civil wars and disputes with neighbouring Tonga. It is believed she was the daughter of Nafanua, the goddess of War who predicted Christianity arriving in Samoa. Not much is known about her, but the present sovereign ruler of Samoa, His Royal Highness Malietoa Tanumafili II, is a direct descendant of this legendary queen.
