'''Kamehameha II ''' (November 1797 – July 14, 1824) was the second king of the Kingdom of Hawaii from 1819 to 1824. His birth name was '''Liholiho''' and full name was '''Kalaninui kua Liholiho i ke kapu ʻIolani'''.{{sfn|Pukui|Elbert|Mookini|1974|pages=56–57, 132}} It was lengthened to '''Kalani Kaleiʻaimoku o Kaiwikapu o Laʻamea i Kauikawekiu Ahilapalapa Kealiʻi Kauinamoku o Kahekili Kalaninui i Mamao ʻIolani i Ka Liholiho''' when he took the throne.<ref>{{cite news|last=Kapiikauinamoku|title=Queen of LIholiho was kamamalu's Half-Sister – The Story of Maui Royalty|newspaper=The Honolulu Advertiser|location=Honolulu|date=June 7, 1956|page=28|url=https://ulukau.org/ulukau-books/?a=d&d=EBOOK-SOMR.2.5.6&e=-------haw-20--1--txt-txPT-----------|access-date=July 4, 2018}}</ref>
Due to his young age, his power was limited and he was controlled under Ka'ahumanu, the queen consort of his father Kamehameha I. However, Kamehameha II is disreputably known for the 'Ai Noa, when he broke traditional religious laws, leading to a lengthened period of taboo-breaking, the disbanding of the social class of priest, and the destruction of temples and images. With increased European contact, Christianity and Western influence began to appear during his reign.
==Early life== Kamehameha II was born in the month of Hanaiaʻeleʻele (corresponding to November) 1797 in Hilo, on the island of Hawaiʻi, the first born son of Kamehameha I with one of his high ranking wife Keōpuolani. It was originally planned that he would be born at the Kūkaniloko birth site on the island of Oʻahu but the Queen's sickness prevented travel.<ref name="Mookini">{{cite journal |hdl= 10524/569 |title= Keopuolani: Sacred Wife, Queen Mother, 1778–1823 |journal= Hawaiian Journal of History |publisher=Hawaiian Historical Society |volume=32 |author= Esther T.

Given in care to his father's trusted servant Hanapi, who took the child to the lands of Kalaoa in Hilo Paliku, he was taken back, after five or six months, by his maternal grandmother Kekuʻiapoiwa Liliha because she felt he was not getting the right diet. Kamehameha I, then, put him in the care of Queen Kaʻahumanu (another wife of Kamehameha I), who was appointed as Liholiho's official guardian.<ref name="Fragments">{{cite book|last1=Ii|first1=John Papa|author-link1=John Papa ʻĪʻī|last2=Pukui|first2=Mary Kawena|author-link2=Mary Kawena Pukui|last3=Barrère|first3=Dorothy B.|title=Fragments of Hawaiian History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qcW0AAAAIAAJ|edition=2|year=1983|publisher=Bishop Museum Press|location=Honolulu|isbn=978-0-910240-31-4}}</ref>{{rp|15}}
Jean Baptiste Rives, a Frenchman about his age, arrived on the islands in the early 19th century.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} Rives taught the royal princes with French language, becoming a close friend (''ʻaikāne'').{{citation needed|date=July 2015}} Other companions included Charles Kanaʻina, Kekūanaōʻa, and Laʻanui.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}
He was named Kalaninui kua Liholiho i ke kapu ʻIolani. ''Liholiho'' (meaning glowing), a contraction of ''Kalaninuiliholiho'' or ''Kalaninui kua Liholiho i ke kapu'' meant "the great chief with the burning back kapu".{{sfn|Pukui|Elbert|Mookini|1974|page=132}}<ref name="Taylor">{{cite journal |journal= Hawaiian Journal of History |title= Liholiho: a revised estimate of his character |last=Taylor|first=Albert Pierce|author-link=Albert Pierce Taylor|hdl= 10524/964 |year= 1928 |publisher=Hawaiian Historical Society |page=23}}</ref> ''ʻIolani'' meant "royal hawk" after the Hawaiian hawk (ʻio) whose high flight signified royalty.{{sfn|Pukui|Elbert|Mookini|1974|pages=56–57}}
==Ascension== Liholiho officially inherited the throne upon Kamehameha I's death in May 1819. However, Queen Kaʻahumanu had no intention to give him actual leadership. When Liholiho sailed toward the shores of Kailua-Kona (the capital at the time), she greeted him wearing Kamehameha's royal red cape, and she announced to the people on shore and to the surprised Liholiho, "We two shall rule the land." Liholiho, young and inexperienced, had no other choice. Kaʻahumanu became the first Kuhina Nui (co-regent) of Hawaii. He was forced to take on merely a ceremonial role; administrative power was to be vested in Kaʻahumanu. He took the title "King Kamehameha II", but preferred to be called ʻIolani, which means "heavenly (or royal) hawk".<ref name="macrae">{{cite book |url= https://archive.org/details/withlordbyronat00macrgoog |title= With Lord Byron at the Sandwich Islands in 1825: Being Extracts from the MS Diary of James Macrae, scottish botanist |publisher= W.F.

==Reign== Kamehameha II is best remembered for the 'Ai Noa, the breaking of the ancient ''kapu'' (taboo) system of religious laws six months into his reign when he sat down with Kaʻahumanu and his mother Keopuolani and ate a meal together. The strict rules of the Hawaiian religion were no longer followed, leading to the traditional culture.
Kamehameha I had bequeathed his war god Kūkaʻilimoku and his temples to his cousin Kekuaokalani. Kekuaokalani demanded that Liholiho withdraw his edicts against the Hawaiian priesthood, permit rebuilding of the temples, and dismiss both Kalanimōkū and Kaʻahumanu. Kamehameha II refused. At the Battle of Kuamoʻo on the island of Hawaiʻi, the king's better-armed forces, led by Kalanimōkū, defeated the last defenders of the Hawaiian gods, temples, and priesthoods of the ancient organized religion. The first Christian missionaries arrived only a few months later in the Hawaiian Islands.
He never officially converted to Christianity because he refused to give up four of his five wives and his love of alcohol. He (like his father) married several relatives of high rank, but he was the last Hawaiian king to practice polygamy. His favorite wife was his sister Kamāmalu. Kīnaʻu (Kamāmalu's full-blood sister) was his second wife who would later remarry and become Kuhina Nui. Princess Kalani Pauahi was his niece by his half-brother Pauli Kaōleiokū. She later remarried and gave birth to Princess Ruth Keʻelikōlani. Kekāuluohi was half-sister of Kamāmalu and Kīnaʻu through their mother Kaheiheimālie who was another of his father's wives. Princess Kekauʻōnohi was Liholiho's niece and granddaughter of Kamehameha I, and would later become royal governor of the islands of Maui and Kauaʻi.

He was known to be impulsive. For example, on November 16, 1820, he bought a Royal Yacht known as Cleopatra's Barge for 8,000 piculs of sandalwood (over a million pounds), estimated to be worth about US$80,000 at the time. It had been sold a few years before for $15,400 by the Crowninshield family of Salem, Massachusetts. Kamehameha II was quite proud of his ship; in the words of Charles Bullard, the agent for the shipowner:
<blockquote>If you want to know how Religion stands at the Islands I can tell you — All sects are tolerated but the King worships the Barge.<ref name="neptune" /></blockquote>
He tried to gain favor with missionaries by offering free passage on the opulent ship, and regularly entertained foreign visitors with their choice of alcoholic beverages. On April 18, 1822, it required a major overhaul because most of the wood had rotted. He paid to have wood shipped in from the Pacific Northwest for repairs, and then renamed his ship ''Haʻaheo o Hawaiʻi'' ("Pride of Hawaii"). After re-launching on May 10, 1823, it was wrecked less than a year later.<ref name="neptune">{{cite news|author=Paul Forsythe Johnston |title=A Million Pounds of Sandalwood: The History of Cleopatra's Barge in Hawaii |work=The American Neptune |volume=63 |number=1 |date=Winter 2002 |pages=5–45 |url=http://americanhistory.si.edu/about/pubs/johnston1.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100311031607/http://americanhistory.si.edu/about/pubs/johnston1.pdf |archive-date=2010-03-11 }}</ref>
In the summer of 1821, he was in a small boat intended for the ʻEwa beach, just west of Honolulu. A few nobles such as Chiefess Kapiʻolani and Governor Boki were aboard, with about 30 men. He ordered the ship to instead cross a dangerous channel all the way to the island of Kauaʻi, despite having no compass, charts, nor provisions on board. They somehow made it to Kauaʻi. When they arrived, the local Chief Kaumualiʻi did not fire his cannons on the unarmed ship but welcomed the young king. The Royal Yacht was sent for, and the royal party entertained themselves for over a month. Then one night after he invited Kaumualiʻi on board, Kamehameha II abruptly ordered the yacht to sail in the night. Upon returning to Honolulu, he had Kaumualiʻi "marry" Kaʻahumanu and kept him under house arrest in exile until his death.<ref name="bingham">{{cite book |author=Hiram Bingham I |author-link=Hiram Bingham I |title=A Residence of Twenty-one Years in the Sandwich Islands |publisher=H.

==Fatal visit to Great Britain== thumb|left|upright|Sketch in London just before his death
Another of his voyages would prove fatal. On April 16, 1822 English missionary William Ellis arrived with a schooner ''Prince Regent'' of six guns to add to his growing collection of ships. It was a gift from George IV the King of Great Britain, and Kamehameha II wrote to thank him, requesting closer diplomatic ties.<ref>{{cite book |author= William Ellis |title= Polynesian researches during a residence of nearly eight years in the Society and Sandwich islands |year=1853 |volume=3 |publisher= Henry G.

After his mother Keōpūolani's death on September 16, 1823, he made up his mind to go.
In November 1823, Kamehameha II and Queen Kamāmalu commissioned the British whaling ship {{ship||L'Aigle|1802 ship|2}} (French for "the Eagle") under Captain Valentine Starbuck to carry them to London.<ref name="Dunmore238">Dunmore, John (1992); ''Who's Who in Pacific Navigation'', Australia:Melbourne University Press, {{ISBN|0-522-84488-X}}, p 238</ref> Going along were High Chief Boki and wife High Chiefess Kuini Liliha, and other chiefs and retainers including Manuia, Naihekukui, James Young Kānehoa, Kekūanaōʻa, Kauluhaimalama, Naʻaiweuweu, and Naukane who had already been to America (where he picked up the name John Coxe) and then England.<ref name="kamakau">{{cite book|last=Kamakau|first=Samuel|author-link=Samuel Kamakau|title=Ruling Chiefs of Hawaii|url=http://www.ulukau.org/elib/cgi-bin/library?c=chiefs&l=en|edition=Revised|year=1992|orig-year=1961|publisher=Kamehameha Schools Press|location=Honolulu|isbn=978-0-87336-014-2}}</ref>{{rp|256}}<ref name="kanaka">{{cite news |hdl= 10524/133 |title= Kanaka World Travelers and Fur Company Employees, 1785–1860 |work=Hawaiian Journal of History |publisher=Hawaii Historical Society |volume= 7 |author= Janice K.

Since Ellis wanted to travel back to England anyway, he offered to be translator and guide, but Starbuck refused. Somehow Rives talked his way on board instead as translator.
In February 1824, they arrived at Rio de Janeiro in the newly independent Empire of Brazil. Emperor Pedro I received the visitors, presenting Kamehameha II with a ceremonial diamond-encrusted sword with a gold sheath, and in return accepting an ʻahu ʻula, a traditional feather cloak associated with high rank, which was lost in the 2018 fire at the National Museum of Brazil. Queen Kamāmalu received a diamond ring; in return, she offered a yellow feather necklace.<ref>[https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/post/royal-hawaiian-feather-cloak-feared-lost-brazil-museum-fire#stream/0 Royal Hawaiian Feather Cloak Feared Lost in Brazil Museum Fire]</ref><ref>{{cite news |hdl= 10524/620 |title="L'Aigle" and HMS "Blonde": The Use of History in the Study of Ethnography |work=Hawaiian Journal of History |publisher=Hawaii Historical Society |volume= 12 |author= Adrienne L.

They arrived on May 17, 1824 in Portsmouth, and the next day moved into the Caledonian Hotel in London. Foreign Secretary George Canning appointed Frederick Gerald Byng (1784–1871) to supervise their visit. Byng was a Gentleman Usher, fifth son of John Byng, 5th Viscount Torrington and friend of Beau Brummell, known more for his gaudy fashions than diplomacy.<ref>{{cite web |title= Biography: Hon.

Their arrival was met by the local press with a mixture of curiosity and derision. They were not sure what to call the king, spelling his "Liholiho" name various ways such as "Rheo Rhio". Some made puns on the fact that Byng's nickname was "Poodle" and in Hawaiian ''ʻīlio ʻīlio'' would mean "dog of dogs"<ref name="ilio">{{cite web |url= http://wehewehe.org/cgi-bin/hdict?e=q&a=q&l=en&q=ilio |title= lookup of ilio |work= on Hawaiian dictionary |author= Pukui and Elbert |year= 2003 |publisher= Ulukau, the Hawaiian Electronic Library, University of Hawaii |access-date= 2010-02-15 |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://archive.today/20121228063836/http://wehewehe.org/cgi-bin/hdict?e=q&a=q&l=en&q=ilio |archive-date= 2012-12-28 }}</ref> and that the British name of the kingdom was "Sandwich Islands".<ref name="press" />
On May 28, a reception with 200 guests including several dukes was held in their honor.

King George IV finally scheduled a meeting for June 21, but it had to be delayed as Kamāmalu became ill. The Hawaiian court had caught measles, to which they had no immunity. They probably contracted the disease on their June 5 visit to the Royal Military Asylum (now the Duke of York's Royal Military School).<ref>{{cite journal |title= The Tragic 1824 Journey of the Hawaiian King and Queen to London: History of Measles in Hawaii |last1= Shulman |journal= The Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal |first1= Stanford T. |last2= Shulman |first2= Deborah L. |last3= Sims |first3= Ronald H. |author8= Stanford T.

Vast crowds lined up when he was laid in state at the Caledonian Hotel on July 17. On July 18, the bodies were stored in the crypt of St Martin-in-the-Fields church where they awaited transportation back home. Boki took over lead of the delegation and finally did have an audience with King George IV. Kānehoa (James Young), with superior English language skills conferred by his English father John Young, was entrusted with the official letters of introduction and served as new translator. Rives and Starbuck were accused of misspending the royal treasury and departed.
In August 1824, the bodies returned to Hawaii on the enormous Royal Navy frigate {{HMS|Blonde|1819|6}} under the command of Captain George Anson Byron.<ref>{{cite book |author=Andrew Bloxam |author-link=Andrew Bloxam |year=1925 |title=Diary of Andrew Bloxam: naturalist of the ''Blonde'' on her trip from England to the Hawaiian islands, 1824–25 |publisher=Volume 10 of Bernice P.

The ''Blonde'' arrived back in Honolulu on May 6, 1825. Kalanimōkū had been notified of the deaths in a letter from Rives, so Hawaiian royalty gathered at his house where the bodies were moved for the funeral. The marines and crew from the ship made a formal procession, the ship's chaplain read an Anglican prayer, and an American missionary was allowed to make a prayer in the Hawaiian language.<ref name="bingham" />{{rp|266}} They were buried on the grounds of the ʻIolani Palace in a coral house meant to be the Hawaiian version of the tombs Liholiho had seen in London. They were eventually moved to the Royal Mausoleum of Hawaii known as ''Mauna ʻAla''. Kamehameha II was succeeded by his younger brother Kauikeaouli, who became King Kamehameha III.
