Editing ʻAhoʻeitu (section)

== Royal lineage ==
From 'Aho'eitu, the [[Tuʻi Tonga|Tu'i Tonga Dynasty]] that [[Tuʻi Tonga Empire|once reigned over Tonga and its historical territories]] is descended. Although the Tu'i Tonga title itself now lies defunct, the succession continues through the noble title of Kalaniuvalu as of 1865, when the last Tu'i Tonga, His Majesty [[Laufilitonga|Sanualio Laufilitonga]], died, leaving his son, the Lord Kalaniuvalu (''né'' Viliami Fatafehi-'o-Lapaha), as the successor to a disgraced legacy. The current sovereign of Tonga, HM Tupou VI, is directly descended from Laufilitonga through the latter's daughter, the Lady Lavinia Veiongo, who was Kalaniuvalu's twin sister, which accords the Tupou Dynasty with customary seniority over Kalaniuvalu and his descendants courtesy of the old Fahu System of Tongan kinship. Apart from this, the House of Tupou are also directly descended from 'Aho'eitu as the rightful successors of the [[Tuʻi Kanokupolu|Tu'i Kanokupolu]] lineage, which was a junior branch of the royal bloodline tasked with governing the rebellious Hihifo district of [[Tongatapu]]. In this regard, it can be reasoned that the Tu'i Tonga dynasty and its kingship are still extant, making it the second oldest surviving royal dynasty after the [[Imperial House of Japan|imperial dynasty of Japan]].

'Aho'eitu's older brothers were:
* Talafale: he became the Tu{{okina}}i Faleua (''King [of the] Second House''), a spare dynasty in case {{okina}}Aho{{okina}}eitu's line would ever die out (which apparently has still not happened). He also became the [[Tuʻipelehake|Tu{{okina}}i Pelehake]] (''Favoured Ruler''), another very high title. For years, Prince Fatafehi, brother to [[Tāufaʻāhau Tupou IV|King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV]], kept both titles, but after his death in 1999, only the Tu{{okina}}i Pelehake title was inherited by his son, as the Tu{{okina}}i Faleua title reverted to the Crown.
* Matakehe: his line became extinct during the reign of the Tu{{okina}}i Tonga, [[Tuʻi-tā-tui|Tuʻitātui]]. He, and his younger brother, the Tu{{okina}}i Folaha, were the guardians of the Tu{{okina}}i Tonga's person.
* Māliepō; his descendants are the matāpule, [[Lauaki]], and the Kau Tufunga (Royal Undertakers).
* Tu{{okina}}i Loloko: his line is still extant. He and his younger brother were to govern in the name of the king.
* Tu{{okina}}i Folaha; his lineage came to end during the reign of the Tu{{okina}}i Tonga, [[Tuʻi-tā-tui|Tuʻitātui]]. Along with his brother, Matakehe, they were the guardians of the [[Tuʻi Tonga|Tu{{okina}}i Tonga]]'s person, with the title ultimately having a bloodline directly connected to Houma, a village in the south-west of Tongatapu.

ʻAhoʻeitu has become the namesake for several other generations of his chiefly and royal descendants. The current king, [[Tupou VI]], for instance, was baptised as Prince ʻAhoʻeitu ʻUnuakiʻotonga Tukuʻaho.
