Hingoa lōloa: Maʻafu Tukuʻiʻaulahi
Ongo Maʻafu/en
The both Maʻafu are a twin, Maʻafulele (running Maʻafu) the oldest, because he ran already at his birth and Maʻafutoka (laying Maʻafu) the youngest, as he lay just still after his birth. Later they went to the sky and became the both Magelhanic clouds, Maʻafulele is the larger and Maʻafutoka is the smaller, although some sources swap this assignment. They are claimed to be the sons of the chief of Vainī, Maʻafu (tuku-ʻi-ʻau-lahi), because of the likeliness of the name. But that is a popular ethymology. This name Maʻafu is associated with the Tahitian word māhu, which means the both nebulae, but also means a cloud or haze or spray, which latter meaning in Tongan has become ʻaʻafu.
The chief Maʻafuʻiʻaulahi bathed every evening in the Felefonu stream, rubbing himself with a piece of coconut husk, which he left behind when going home. Later a lizard came and sucked the husk. She got pregnant and bore a twin. When the two boys had grown big the lizard told them who their father was, and so they went to see him. They were very beautiful boys, but also very misschievous. They broke all kind of taboos, but their old father forgave them. When time progressed, however, they grew from naughty to wicked and killed other children in their rough games. People came to their chief to complain about his sons.
Old Maʻafu asked the boys to get some water for him from a faraway spring. He did not tell them that a giant wild duck lived near that spring, because he hoped that the bird would kill them, so that he would gently get rid of the boys. It did not work out. Both Maʻafu went, Maʻafulele overcame the duck and the they brought the water home, together with a nice gift for their old father, the duck. Next day Maʻafu sent the two boys to another faraway spring with the same order. This time a spring where he knew to live a giant triggerfish. Again his plot failed. Maʻafutoka overcame the fish, and the boys brought the water and a nice gift home. Chief Maʻafu had to thank them again, but now with anger. Then he explained what exactly was going on. The lads understood and announced they would leave. They would take the duck and the triggerfish with them, and go into the sky. There old Maʻafu could see them at any time by looking up, and the twin would be able to see him everytime when looking down. But they would not disturb him or his people anymore.
That is the origin of the both Magelhanic clouds, the Southern cross (Toloa) and the Coalsack (Humu).

Sinaitakalaʻilangileka/en
As the sister of the Tuʻi Tonga, Sinaitakala was too highly ranked to marry any Tongan, she formed a class on herself, she was the first Tuʻi Tonga Fefine. Luckily she fell in love with a chief from Fiji, Tapuʻosi, the Tui Lakeba, who was outside the Tongan ranking system.
With her started the Tamahā (her children, especially her oldest daughter) and the Fale Fisi (chiefs perhaps higher than the Tuʻi Tonga, but as outsiders not a treat to him).
Tokiukamea mentions the name Chenitacala (English pronunciation, with the 's' still a 'j' in that time) as a goddess, the soul of a once great chiefess.

Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua/en
The Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua family (kāinga) is the head of the Takalaua clan (haʻa). The Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua is one of the three major royal lines of modern Tonga. The first ruler was Moʻungāmotuʻa. Originally it was the Kauhalalalo itself, then it became part of it, and finally it was brushed aside by the Tuʻi Kanokupolu into the Kauhalaʻuta.

Tuʻi Tonga Fefine/en
In the beginning of the 17th century the current Tongan ranking system became well established. This was probably due to the invasion of ʻUluakimata I with his 500 ʻUvean warriors to claim the title of the Tuʻi Tonga a century or so before. It was a long time of social changes, but Tongan culture changed from something completely different then, to the structure it still has nowadays.
In the new system the rank of the sisters of the Tuʻi Tonga was higher than of the king himself, especially the rank of his his oldest sister. She became known as the Tuʻi Tonga Fefine (female Tonga king; but she was not his wife). (These 'real' Tuʻi Tonga Fefine are different from the occasional named Tuʻi Tonga Fefine during earlier generations.) Sinaitakalaʻilangileka was the first Tuʻi Tonga Fefine.
Evidentlty the Tuʻi Tonga Fefine was not really a dynasty with a daughter succeeding on her mother's death. Their existence followed the Tuʻi Tonga, so there could be one, or none, or perhaps two Tuʻi Tonga Fefine at any particular time.
Tamahā/en
Tamahā is a word from Sāmoan origin: tama sā, meaning holy child. She was the oldest daughter of a Tuʻi Tonga Fefine. Most of them stayed at the small but glorious island of Tungua in Haʻapai, so that their high rank did not interfere with matters of state, conducted by the lords on Tongatapu. The institution was established in the beginning of the 17th century, around the time that the Tongan ranking system developed into what it is nowadays.
Tradition (see: E.W. Gifford, Tongan society, 1929) names 6 Tamahā, starting with Fonokimoana, an ending with ʻAmelia Fakahikuʻoʻuiha, when the line of the Tuʻi Tonga also collapsed. On the other hand queen Sālote Tupou III (see: E. Bott, Tongan society at the time of Captain Cook's visits, 1982) only recognised 3 Tamahā, crossing off those who were not the oldest child of a Tuʻi Tonga Fefine.
A Tamahā was officially installed. Unlike their mothers, there was only one Tamahā at any given time, if any, and a potential contestant had to wait until the death of her predecessor before she could get the title.

Moʻungaʻotonga/en
Moʻungaʻotonga married a virgin from Sāmoa, a privilige until then only allowed to the Tuʻi Tonga, as that act increased his rank. Apparently so highly risen had the Tuʻi Takalaua by now that he could come away with it and had even with his son Ngata another dynasty started.
Moʻungaʻotonga's first son would succeed him as Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua. His second, Niukapu, was sent out as governor of Haʻapai. The third, Nuku, became governor of the Hahake district, large and rich. The fourth and youngest, Ngata had to do it with Hihifo, always been the smallest and poorest district.
Who could have guessed that from him the mightiest line of kings would come forth? And nowadays the descendants of Nuku and Niukapu are under those of Ngata, and they belong to the Lātūhifo clan (low Lātū).

Shirley Waldemar Baker/en
Baker was a controversial figure. Although he was genuine in his efforts to better Tonga, he was not free of megalomania. But whatever his personal shortcomings, without him as prime minister in the first years of the new nation, Tonga would have collapsed and become a colony without doubt. He took over from Tēvita ʻUnga, who had no idea what premiership was about and had left a mess behind. Baker reorganised, enforced taxation, made regulations, and many more. Shortly as administrator he was perfect and loyal to the state. But missionaries, traders and Tongan chiefs, who saw their real or imagined privileges sacrified to the state, they became his bitter enemy. After 10 years they were able to seize on an error the overstressed Baker made and had him deported from Tonga. Siaosi U. Tukuʻaho became his successor. And a few months later the nation was in absolute mess again.
Nōpele/en
Some of the great chiefs who missed out on a noble's title (in 1910) were among others: ʻAlipate Mafileʻo of Kolomotuʻa, SA Sipu of Kolomotuʻa, Iki Lolohea of Haʻapai (but later inherited the Fulivai), Tēvita Tapueluelu of Vavaʻu, SF Tafolo, Tēvita Ula Afuhaʻamango of Vavaʻu, Siosiua Niutupuʻivaha Kaho‎‎ (but later inherited the Tuʻivakanō).
These unacknowledged chiefs were still lords in the traditional sense. However their influence slowly decreased with each passing generation. Queen Sālote acknowledged this in some of her public speeches by paying respect to the chiefs then a separate respect to the Nobles of the Crown as: «Tapu mo Houʻeiki pea Tapu ki he Kau Nopele ʻa e Fonua».

Ngata/en
The offspring of the three younger brothers, Niukapu, Nuku and Ngata are also called the ʻUlutolu (triple head). During the time of Ngata, even his son and grandson, they were not yet known as Tuʻi Kanokupolu. Ngata's title was the Tuʻi Haʻamoʻunga.
There were other sons of Ngata, and they, and their sons, were the first contributants to his dynasty, their descendants are known as the old Ngata clan: Haʻa Ngata Motuʻa.
Vakalepuʻahio (short ʻAhio) was Ngata's oldest son, but he refused to accept the Tuʻi Kanokupolu title on his father's death, leaving it to his younger stepbrother Atamataʻila (short Ata). Because he did not like, or felt himself too good, to be a servant to the real king (his uncle Fotofili). At that time the Tuʻi Kanokupolu was still barely any more than that compared to the Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua. Still nowadays the ʻAhio clan, being the head of the Haʻa Ngata Motuʻa, has despite that position, no traditional duties.
Kaloafūtonga/en
This was the first time that a daughter of the Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua married with a Tuʻi Tonga. This would from now on strengthen the links between the two families. Kalo-afu-tonga was the first māʻitaki. The word is clearly related to the Sāmoan tama'itaʻi (lady).
Campbell's spelling her name as Kaluafotonga must be a mistake.

Paʻanga (ʻakau)/en

Paʻanga (ʻakau)/en
Etymology
On 1 December 1806 Tongans attacked the passing ship Port-au-Prince in order to take it over. They failed, as the crew sank the vessel. The chief of Haʻapai at that time, Fīnau ʻUlukālala II ʻi Feletoa (Fangupō), resorted to the next plan, plunder what ever was worthwhile. On his inspection tour he found the ship's cash. Not knowing what money was he considered the coins as paʻanga. Finally, not seeing anything of value, he ordered the remains of the ship to be burned. It was much later that William Mariner, one of the survivors of this attack and his protegé, told him that those pieces of metal were of great value and not merely playing stones.
When Tonga introduced decimal currency, it decided not to call the main unit the dollar because the native word, tola translated into a pig's snout, the soft end of a coconut, or, in vulgar language, a mouth. Paʻanga, on the other hand, translated into money.
Mariner also passed down the following statement of Finow (as he called him): See also paʻanga (money).

Siosāteki Tonga Veikune/en
Sāteki, as he was normally known, had been an old friend of Shirley Waldemar Baker, who had been hated by the chiefs and traders. The fact that Sāteki was no chief himself, only added to the misgivings of the chiefs. But for a Tongan, of his time, he showed a remarkable dexterity in administration and quickly undid the mess from his predecessor. Unfortunately he had the raise taxes again and again and again to keep up with the spending thrift of the king. By 1897 it was no longer possible to raise taxes any higher, and he had to get loans from traders, essentially selling Tonga to foreign business men. The Hutter brothers of Auckland in particular.
The king, firstly having a luxurious lifestyle away from town and administration troubles, and secondly having his own problems with stubbortnly marrying Lavinia Veiongo Fotu, was of no help. He only created for Sāteki the new noble title of Veikune in 1903. Slowly but surely Sāteki forced, probably unwillingly, the kingdom from debts into almost bankruptcy, and there were more than serious talks about British annexation. Finally in December 1904 the British high commissioner of the Western Pacific, sir Everard im Thurn came to Tonga to make clean ship and to deport king and prime minister if needed.

Tupoutoʻa (TK)/en
Although Tupoutoʻa could claim through both his father and his mother descency from the Tuʻi Kanokupolu line, in reality he was a minor chief. His father Tukuʻaho had been extremily harsh person, generally hated, an usurper who had managed to get the Tuʻi Kanokupolu title, but was murdered by a triumvirate under Tupouniua, his halfbrother Fīnau ʻUlukālala II ʻi Feletoa (Fangupō) and his half-halfbrother, Tupoutoʻa himself.
With Tongatapu in a civil war after the murder, Tupoutoʻa initially sought to become an ally of Fīnau Fangupō. This put him Haʻapai in the lap, when Fīnau after the war against Vavaʻu of 1808, thought the latter place a better residence for him than his current estates of Haʻapai. So Tupoutoʻa became a governor, but after the death of Fīnau in 1809 the high chief of the archipelago.
Meanwhile he did not stop his ambitions for Tongatapu, and finally in 1813 the mightiest chief of Tongatapu, Takai agreed that he would become the Tuʻi Kanokupolu. But it had become a hollow title by then, and when Tupoutoʻa died in 1820 no one even noticed.

Fīnau ʻUlukālala II ʻi Feletoa (Fangupō)/en
This is the Finow described by Tokiukamea (William Mariner's account), who was at that time about the mightiest chief of whole Tonga. Yet when Mariner became his adopted son in 1806, his powerbase was limited to Haʻapai only. Tongatapu had descended in anarchy after his murder on Tukuʻaho, and although he raided it a few times, and made a pact with Tākai, the chef of Pea, the latter deceived him as soon as he turned his back to the island. Concerning Vavaʻu, this he had effectively lost to his younger brother Tupouniua, even though the latter was supposed to be his governor there only. So Fīnau was not too sorry, probably even accomplice to it, although he officially denied that, when Tupouniua was murdered in Māhinafekite (Tongoleleka) in 1807. But then his aunt Toeʻumu called herself the Tuʻi Vavaʻu, entrenching herself in Feletoa. He raged a war on her, around late 1807 or 1808, but after months of skirmishes was not able to defeat her. He then made peace, which gave him then essentially a share in the Tuʻi Vavaʻu title.
Having found that Vavaʻu was a better place to stay than Haʻapai, he left the latter islands to his ally, Tupoutoʻa for him to govern as his governor. But after Fīnau's death, his son more in for an isolationist policy, Tupoutoʻa became essentially the ruler of Haʻapai, which as such would form the core of the empire to be built later by his son Tāufaʻāhau.

Siaosi Fatafehi Toutaitokotaha/en
In any case, in January 1905 Tonga became a British protectorate, with the government essentially regulated by the resident British consul, Hamilton Hunter. Tonga was lucky that the British did not straightout annex it. But they did not want to have also the responsibility of the care of the population on their shoulders.
Fatafehi's paternal grandmother Tupou Veiongo, was also the mother of the last Tuʻi Tonga, Sanualio Laufilitonga. The latter wanted on his death in 1865 all prerogatives of his high office going to Fatafehi, which would make him, traditionally seen the most important man of the land. But Fatafehi did not want to antagonise his maternal grandfather king Siaosi Tupou I and relinquished to him most of the honour. Still he kept enough to make the Tuʻipelehake the second most important chiefly title of the country. He kept his own kava ritual (in the Tuʻi Tonga form) and was also known as Tuʻifaleua and ʻEikihāʻele.
It is not quite clear whether all this, said to have originated with Talafale long long ago, was indeed already rooted in myth, or the myths were made up at the occassion.
Since 1865 both he and Tupou I were to be addressed with the royal register (the language reserved for the Tuʻi Tonga).

Māʻitaki/en
The māʻitaki (a word related to the Sāmoan tamataʻi (lady)) was a daughter of the Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua who married with the Tuʻi Tonga to become his principal wife and the mother of his heir. As personal rank in Tonga comes from the mother, this elevated the status of the future Tuʻi Tongas, and increased the power of the Tuʻi Haʻatakalauas, becuase of the fahu system. It was thus advantageous to both kāinga.
The first māʻitaki was Kaloafūtonga around 1600, the last Longomāʻitaki around 1700.
The system lasted only for 4 generations, as by then the power of the Tuʻi Haʻatakalaua had been eclipsed by the Tuʻi Kanokupolu, and the Tuʻi Tonga started to take his principal wife from the latter kāinga. They were called moheofo (meaning: to wake up (a lord)). Originally, however, the term was to indicate a young woman sleeping with a visiting chief, as was normal in former times.
