==Children== Massasoit had five children: son [[Wamsutta]], who was born between 1621 and 1625; son Pometecomet, [[Metacomet]], or Metacom; son Sonkanuchoo; and daughters Amie and Sarah. Soon after his death, Wamsutta and Metacomet went to Plymouth and asked the Pilgrims to give them English names. The court named them Alexander and Philip. Wamsutta, the eldest, became [[sachem]] of the [[Pokanoket]]s on the death of his father.<ref name=Appletons>{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Massasoit|year=1900}}</ref> He died within a year, and his brother Metacom succeeded him in 1662.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/indianhistorybio00peir#page/38/mode/2up Peirce, Ebenezer.
