World Statesmen (secondary) record. World Statesmen lists a first term, then a second term in the same years (internally inconsistent; flagged); third term 1789–1793. Wikipedia gives no Tu'i Kanokupolu list; the line is placed 'about 1500' onward and it was 'George Tupou I's 19th ruler' (Wikipedia list-of-monarchs page).
