What Queen was deposed for refusing to appear (naked?) in front of the king's drunken guests?
Vashti
But the queen Vashti refused ... therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. ...
What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king? ...
Let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes,
that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate
unto another that is better than she.
Esther 1:10When the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded ... the seven chamberlains ...
to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty:
for she was fair to look on.
But the queen Vashti refused ... therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. ...
What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king? ...
Let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes,
that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate
unto another that is better than she.
Esther 1:10
