[edit] Overview

The monarchs of island Maui, like those of the other Hawaiian islands, claim descent from Wakea and Papa. They were sometimes reverred to as Moi. Paumakua, the first Moʻi of Maui, was thirty-first in line of descent from Wakea. The 25th Moʻi, Kahekili II, expanded his empire by conquering the neighbouring island of Oahu in 1783 and through marriage of his brother allied himself with the Queen of Kauai. However, his son, Kalanikupule, the 27th Alii Aimoku was destined to be the last of his line. Maui was weaken when Kalanikupule and his uncle, Kaeokulani, fought over the succession to the throne. Maui along with Oahu fell to the might of King Kamehameha the Great in 1795 and ushered in a new era known as the Kingdom of Hawaii.
