The King of Arabia is Zenocrate’s arranged fiancé. He joins with the Soldan to rescue her from Tamburlaine, and he fights and dies gallantly in battle. He and Zenocrate share a loving exchange in his dying moments. However, Zenocrate’s affection seems quite forgotten only moments later when Tamburlaine reappears. Tamburlaine’s own command to give the king a proper burial at the end of Part 1 shows his sense of honor.
