Kalaunuiohua

Kalaunuiohua (nui = “great”, ohua = "servant") was a High Chief of the island of Hawaiʻi in ancient Hawaii.

Kalaunuiohua was born on Hawaiʻi (the Big Island), as a son of High Chief Kahaimoelea (Kahai IV) and his half-sister, Lady Kapo.

With his combined Armies of Maui, Molokai and Oahu, Kalau set sail for the island of Kauai with the three captive kings in his train.

Chief Kukona immediately set the three captive kings free to return to their homes but he kept Kalaunuiohua a close prisoner for several years.

One old legend tells how he was not afraid of the priests or wizards[5] and how he ordered the killing of the witch Waʻahia, whose spirit then became united with the soul of Kalaunuiohua.
