Abstract

The Shahnameh is essentially a chronicle of kings, with large sections separated by the coronations and deaths of individual monarchs. It covers the reign of fifty kings, from the first, Kumar, to the unfortunate Yazdegerd, who died fleeing the advancing Arabs. The kings and heroes of Firdousi constantly participate in battles, hunts and court feasts - feasts, battles and festivities - which are the main elements of the military code and entertainment of the ruling. However, they also find time for sports, games, and romance.
