The Kakoy Dynasty: The White Rajahs of Tamba- Tamba.

Sir Brougham Sleight may have become the First Kakoy (he was sometimes referred to as White Rajah) as the result of a ruse by John Cox to ensure that the islanders were able to be self- governing. However, the Kakoy Dynasty effectively ruled Tamba- Tamba for 125 years, actually growing in strength and influence at the expense of the Council.

Sir Brougham Sleight (1799-1899) assumed the title Brougham Kakoy in 1854. Brougham was more interested in status rather than actual power.  During the early years of his reign the islanders were self governing and Brougham Kakoy lived out the fantasy life of an avuncular country squire.















Clifton Gates Kakoy ( 1860-1915) held the Kakoyship from 1899- 1915. Brougham's only son. He idolised Prince Albert.

Harry Royston Kakoy (1890- 1930) son of Clifton Gates,  known fondly as the Mad Kakoy. An admirer of Lenin and keen chimney sweep, he ruled for an interesting 15 years (1915-1930)

George Wilmslow Kakoy ( 1900- 1965) when Harry Roy the Mad died without issue the position of Kakoy passed to his cousin, Mr George Wilmslow, who had previously owned a Wireless shop in Wimbourne Minster. George Wilmslow Kakoy reigned from 1931- 1965. He styled himself a 'man of the people' and was very down to earth if somewhat patronizing in his dealings with the islanders. During his reign he was a notorious sexual adventurer. George Wilmslow was responsible for the appointment of Major Ambrose and the formation of the Tamba- Tamba Militia.

Melvin Marylebone Kakoy
(1935- 1977) Known as The Playboy. Educated at Eton and Cambridge, a former Guards officer and motor racing driver.Hardly bothered to visit Tamba- Tamba during his Kakoyship (1965-1977), using it only as another exotic location for his exuberant parties. He began to 'develop' the island in the late 1960's for his own financial gain, sowing the seeds of the Revolution. In his absence Major Ambrose's influence grew strong.

To Tam Kakoy (1940-) The Playboy Kakoy had many illegitimate heirs, and following much legal wrangling his unpopular half- brother assumed the Kakoyship on his death. This was in itself an unpopular  move as To Tam was half Kuiper's Islander . He was deposed by the Revolution and now lives in Reading.
