Tamatoa III (c. 1757 – 1831) was the King of Raiatea from 1820 to 1831.[citation needed]
U'uru, or Vetea-ra'i-'u'uru, was the son of Tamatoa II by his third wife. He was the ari'i maro 'ura, high chief, at 'Opoa on Raiatea, during Captain Cook's visit in 1773.[1]
The numbering of the Tamatoa varies. An ancestor of the Tamatoa line named Fa'aniti is often counted as "Tamatoa I" and Moeore is not consider Tamatoa IV.[2]
