as long as chief massasoit lived.
At the center of this cataclysm was one man, Metacom, leader of the Pokanokets, a tribe within the Wampanoag Indian Federation. At an early age, when relations between the natives and settlers were less stressed, Metacom was given the nickname of King Philip by the English, because of his haughty mannerisms. One of the many ironies of this conflict is that Philip was the son of Massasoit -- the same Massasoit who had helped the Plymouth Pilgrims survive their first winter in the New World. A father's kindness would became a son's curse.
Metacomet, or King Phillip, launched a string of massacres on the English colonists, leaving once happy homes with warm fireplaces razed to the ground. Interesting Fact: Did you know that Metacomet was the son of Chief Massasoit, the chief who had assisted the Pilgrims years earlier?
