Necotowance

Necotowance (Unknown birth year – died before 1655) was Werowance (chief) of the Pamunkey tribe and Paramount Chief of the Powhatan Confederacy after Opechancanough, from 1646 until his death sometime before 1655. Necotowance signed a treaty with the Colony of Virginia in 1646, at which time he was addressed by the English as "King of the Indians."

After his death he was succeeded by Totopotomoi as Weroance of the Pamunkey. Necotowance was, however, the last Paramount Chief of the Powhatan confederacy. Totopotomoi's wife, Cockacoeske, who became Weroansqua after Totopotomoi's death, briefly reunited some of the tribes.
