Philip was Massasoit's son and Alexander's brother. After Alexander's death, Philip became the sachem of the Pokanokets. He was a resourceful leader who looked and acted the part. He dressed more elaborately than his people and he had a large wigwam. Philip carried himself with pride and he had a great deal of ambition. He believed he was the equal of the English King, earning the nickname King Philip.
