Titore; was a rangatira of considerable mana based at Kororareka. His kinship
connections, and his relationship with missionaries and traders, meant he was
involved in many key events of the 1830s. He was married to a sister of Hongi
Hika and led many taua during the 1820s and 1830s. Titorenui Takiri (Artist

Titore was a key player during the 'Girls' War' of 1830. Accounts differ on the
cause, but on 6 March 1830 Titore and others of the northern alliance engaged in a two-hour battle
with the peoples of Kiwikiwi and Pomare II. Once peace was made Titore was granted Kororareka
as reparation for the death of his relation, Hengi. Before this he had been based below Whakataha pa
near Te Waimate, which was sometimes referred to as 'Titore's Mount' by Pakeha.
In 1832 and 1833 he led major battles at Tauranga. Despite this, and despite his opposition to
religious services being held at Kororareka, missionaries considered Titore a friend and ally
Reverend Henry Williams often wrote of him as being well disposed, and his children attended
missionary schools.
Titore was one of 13 northern rangatira who signed a letter to King William IV in 1831, seeking an
alliance with Britain. In 1834 he sent the King a further letter and gifts, including wooden spars and
a mere pounamu (greenstone club). In the 1834 letter, Titore wrote: 'Should you and the French
quarrel, here are some trees for your Battle Ships'. In return the King sent him a suit of armour,
which is now in the care of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.
He signed He Whakaputanga on 28 October 1835. In March 1837 a major conflict erupted between
Ngapuhi hapu, led on one side by Titore and on the other by Pomare II. The fighting resulted in
thirty to fifty deaths, including Te Mahurehure rangatira Pi, and Tenana of Ngati Kuta. According
