	Metacomet, or King Philip
		Metacomet (King Philip) was the son of Massasoit, who led the Wampanoag tribe and was a key figure in the alliance of Algonquin tribes.
		Metacomet vowed to halt English expansionism and humiliation; English expansion was largely based on trade of Indian land for guns, ammo, liquor and blankets, and King Philip was himself forced to sign a treaty in 1671 that surrendered those guns for which they traded their land.
		In such a political environment it was increasingly difficult to keep the peace that his father Massasoit maintained, and this lead to both King Philip's War and Mary Rowlandson's narrative of her captivity.
