He was given the title of "Emperor of the Cherokee" by Sir Alexander Cumming, a Scots-Anglo trade envoy in what was then the Province of South Carolina, and is regularly referred to as "King" in official English reports, as this was a familiar term of rank to colonists.[3] He was from Great Tellico, an historic Cherokee town in what is now Tennessee. In 1730 Cumming, a Scottish adventurer with ties to the colonial government of South Carolina, arranged for Moytoy to be crowned emperor over all of the Cherokee towns in a ceremony intended to appeal to Cumming's colonial sponsors. The Cherokee was crowned in the town of Nikwasi with a headdress referred to as the "Crown of Tannassy." Cumming arranged to take Moytoy and a group of Cherokee to England to meet King George II. Moytoy declined to go, saying that his wife was ill. Attakullakulla (Little Carpenter) volunteered to go in his place. The Cherokee laid the "Crown" at King George's feet, along with four scalps. According to some authorities, Moytoy's wife was a woman named Go-sa-du-isga,. After the death of Moytoy, his son, Amouskositte, tried to succeed him as "Emperor". However, by 1753 Conocotocko (Old Hop) of Chota in the Overhill Towns had emerged as the dominant leader in the area.[4] Notes1. ^{{cite book|first=Fred|last=Gearing|year=1962|title=Priests and Warriors: Social Structures for Cherokee Politics in the 18th Century}} {{S-start}}{{succession box| before=Wrosetasatow | title=First Beloved Man| after=Amouskositte| years=1730–1741}}{{S-end}}2. ^Brown, p. 538 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Grant|first=Ludovic|title=Historical Relation of the Facts|journal=The Journal of Cherokee Studies|year=2008|volume=XXVI|pages=64}} 4. ^{{cite book|first=Stan|last=Hoig|year=1998|title=The Cherokees and Their Chiefs: In the Wake of Empire|publisher=University of Arkansas Press}} Sources
