Attributs du Service de Table du Roi des Gambier et de celui de la Mission

This is a list of monarchs of Mangareva of the Gambier Islands of Polynesia until the island's annexation by France on 5 July 1881.[1][2] Although there were other monarchs of the Gambier Islands like Taravai, the kings of Mangareva were considered of the highest ranking. The islands kings and chiefs were called ʻakariki.[3]
