King Philip of the Wampanoag Native Americans was born Metacomet, but was also known as Metacom and Pometacom. He was a Wampanoag war chief and lead his tribe in King Philip's War, an uprising against English colonists.
He adopted the name Philip in 1660 along with his brother, Wamsutta, who adopted the name Alexander. Philip/Metacom wore European-style clothing in order to fit in and live in harmony with the colonists. Despite his concessions to the colonists' demands for expansion, the colonists went too for his people to take. He utilized native tribal alliances to push the colonists out of New England, until the colonists outnumbered them heavily. He was shot and killed in 1676.
