Also known as Lot Kamehameha, King Kamehameha V was appointed to his position, because prior to the death of Kamehameha IV, no provision for an heir to the throne had been made.

Lot was well-educated by Protestant missionaries, like much of the royal family. Despite this, he was a strong supporter of the English, and developed a dislike of his former teachers’ beliefs.
