The Brits and the French did a dirty deal where they swapped part of New Zealand for Polynesia. The French got the king to cede his territory to them in return for his abdication and a lifetime pension. He promptly drank himself to death. His body is not in the tomb because the rest of the islanders were so upset it was thought they might desecrate the corpse.
