Biography

Maseikula was a son of the High Chief Buivaroro and his wife,[1] the High Chiefess Tarau.[2] His grandfather was called Tu'i Naosara. He was a progenitor of a prominent Fijian royal house.[3]

It is possible that Maseikula was born on the island of Lakeba, where lived his uncle Kalouyalewa.[4] On the other hand, he may have been born on Nayau.

After his father died, Maseikula succeeded him.[5][6] He married an unknown woman. She bore him two sons – Vakaoti and Vukinavanua.[7]

Vukinavanua ruled after Maseikula had died, while Vakaoti had a title of Sau Mai.
