  • Her father gave her to Kamehameha (20 years older than Kaahumanu)
  • She lived with Kamehameha since then and grew close

  • Although she was required a kapu, he cherished her intelligence
  • She was his favorite out of 17 other wives
  • Her ability to talk politics/Hawaii's future, be his friend, companion, confidant, and continue being trustworthy enough he could share his power with her made her special

Kalakua

Being slightly plump was considered beautiful back then. She was a very beautiful woman.

Kaahumanu's father gave her in marriage when she was 10-years-old. The next 5 years were not awfully terrible for her. She and the king grew inseparable. Although he had married multiple times, she was still his favorite.

She abolished laws that degraded women.

There was a kapu placed on her head because she was promiscuous.
