The king was an aberrant ruler who abhorred the very idea of abdicating his throne. His advisors, abashed by his behavior, suggested he abase himself before his people and abet a peaceful transition of power. But the king was too proud to abandon his reign, even as his popularity abated and his kingdom fell into abeyance. In the end, he was forced to abbreviate his reign, as his subjects rebelled and he was left with no choice but to abdicate.
