Biographie

À partir du massacre des Indiens de 1622, Opchanacanough abandonne la diplomatie avec les colons anglais du Colony and Dominion of Virginia et tente de les forcer à quitter la région à cette époque ainsi qu'en 1644.

Les forces du gouverneur de Virginie William Berkeley capturent Opchanacanough en 1646, et il meurt tué par un soldat affecté à sa garde.
