More mishaps by royalty…
King Kamehameha’s brother would have been the real heir to the Hawai’ian kingdom. He wanted to live in something more grandiose than the grass huts that everyone else on the islands occupied, so consulted his royal advisers who told him that the kings in Europe had royal palaces and royal thrones. So the king had a two-story grass hut constructed, plus two thrones. There wasn’t room for two thrones on the first floor, so he had the second throne stored on the second floor. The weight of the throne was too much, and it crashed down and killed the king. Clearly, people who live in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.
