Keōpūolani, a chief of the highest rank and sacred wife of Kamehameha I, married him in 1791. She was the mother of Kamehameha II, Kamehameha III, and Princess Nāhi'ena;ena. Her extremely high-ranking ali'i status prohibited people from looking at her, and even Kamehameha I lowered himself in her presence. She defied the kapu against men and women eating together in public by eating with her son Kauikeaouli.
