His Mother was afraid for him because his birth meant for the ruling chiefs of that time’s downfall. Naeole, an extremely fast man that had an impressive amount of stamina, assisted Kamehameha I to escape from harm's way after many men tried tracking them down to kill him while he was still a newborn. He was raised by his uncle Kalaniopu’u who was once the king of Hawai’i island to take refuge. Kamehameha the Great and Maui’s King Kahekili fought and had an epic battle for control of the entire island chain. In 1795, kamehameha and his warriors took control of oahu and all of the other major islands except for Kauai. Escalating on into the future, he ended up becoming the ultimate super soldier that brought together the islands uniting one another because of his experiences and his ability to learn from his mistakes. His parents were Keōua and Kekuʻiapoiwa II. He also ruled for 25 years, and he died in 1819 in kona. He had 7 wives, Keōpūolani, Kaʻahumanu, Kalākua Kaheiheimālie, Namahana Piʻia, Kekāuluohi, and Wahinepio.
