History tells us that the king of this book, Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes) reigned in Persia from 486-465 BC. At a drunken feast, he called for his queen, Vashti, to come and display her beauty for the other men to see. She refused. He was furious and embarrassed, so he chose to make her stay out of his presence. Another woman was to be chosen to fill her place.
