Storia do Mogor 52.5

52.5

This king in his time did nothing of any value. He loved to be always at peace, and take his ease at home amidst the endearments of his women. Thus, after a reign of eight years, one month, and twelve days, he died, leaving behind him two evil precedents for the Moguls. The first was the assassination of brothers; and the second one, shared by almost all their great men, the speaking of fair words, and backing them by oaths upon the Alcorao (the Quran), when they are pressed by necessity, and declining to be bound by those promises when the necessity no longer exists.
