Both in the drama and romance, the princes, between whom the kingdom had been divided, soon fell to di ension, and the younger stabbed the elder; the mother, who more dearly loved the elder, having killed his brother in revenge, the people, indignant at the cruelty of the deed, rose in rebellion, and murdered both father and mother. The nobles then a embled and destroyed most of the rebels, but afterwards became embroiled in a civil war, in which they and their i ue were all slain.
