335.5.4

'The new king, having made all his arrangements beforehand (and that a long time ago), ascended the throne without hindrance. His brother, a young prince of fourteen or fifteen years, to whom the crown belonged as of right, since he was born of a princess of ancient family, was in no position to resist. This unfortunate young prince was the first victim of his brother's jealousy and passion. Some mandarins who had espoused his cause shared his fate. All these tragical events were carried out with great shedding of blood. Following on these cruel executions everybody bent beneath the tyrant's sway, except the governor of Lygor (Ligor). He has refused to submit, and has resolved to avenge the death of the young prince who has been so unjustly made away with. As this governor belongs to one of the most ancient families of the kingdom, and has brought over to his side the kings of Singor (Singora) and of Pattang (Patani), he is causing terrible uneasiness to the new monarch.
