The book describes the king of Persia as 'Ahasuerus'. Although there would be some historical inaccuracies, many Bible commentaries observe that Ahasuerus is likely the Hebraicised version of King Xerxes, the Achaemenid leader who ruled from 486 to 465 BCE.

Did vashti queen of Persia have children?
The record of ('Queen') Vashti is in the book of Esther. She was the King's first wife, or queen consort, or most prominent/leading wife, but was deposed for disobedience to her husband, the King. She was replaced by Esther, a Jewess. The book of Esther does not say that Vashti had any children by the King. As she had incited the King's disfavor and been dismissed from the household, whatever happened to her after that was not considered significant enough to include in the bible record.

Historians say there never was a Queen Esther (or a Queen Vashti) of Persia, and biblical scholars say that the Book of Esther was actually a novel, written in the second century BCE, so we will never have a date of birth for Esther.
How long was Queen Esther married?
A:The Book of Esther places Esther during the reign of Xerxes, who was king of Persia from 486 to 465 BCE.

The Book of Esther does not say whether Esther was queen fortheremainder of Xerxes' reign but, if so, she would have been queen for some 18 years. Scholars say there are good reasons to believe that the story is fictional and that there never was a Queen Esther of Persia. There is no historical record of either Vashti or Esther, and Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign. From a historical perspective, Esther was never really a queen.
