List of royal consorts of Tahiti

(Redirected from List of consorts of Tahiti)

A royal consort is a spouse of a monarch. The Kingdom of Tahiti was founded by Pōmare I (known as Tu) between 1788 and 1791. His dynasty lasted until his great-grandson Pōmare V abdicated in 1880 and the French annexed Tahiti and its dependencies to form French Polynesia.
