Death
In 1694, he died and was heirless. He had 2 sons, the eldest one was executed for adultery and the other son, who fled to Ayudhya with his mother, step-mother and 600 followers in February 1686, after his father ordered their execution because he was found to be co-habiting with his half-sister with their full knowledge. This was a chaotic time in Laos history where it completely collapsed with the kingdom spliting into 3 new kingdoms, Vientiane, Luang Phrabang and Kingdom of Champasak.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“As death, when we come to consider it closely, is the true goal of our existence, I have formed during the last few years such close relations with this best and truest friend of mankind, that his image is not only no longer terrifying to me, but is indeed very soothing and consoling! And I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity ... of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791)
