12. Kamehameha V
Born December 11, 1830 and dying December 11, 1872, Kamehameha V was also known as Lot Kapuaiwa (to his Hawaiian brethren.) He was a ruler in the Kingdom of Hawaii back in the mid-1800s. He used his kingship to ease the restrictions on rulers made in the constitution of 1852 in the Kingdom. In fact, he sought to create a new constitution, one that would grant him more kingly power. Unfortunately, Kamehameha V had poor health, and he was reported to have an internal abscess. In other words, he was morbidly obese. Too much fat around his heart ended up resulting in his death.
