Yes, but when the king had a foreseer come to his palace, the foreseer said that he (the Buddha) would not be a great king like his father, but a high placed religious person after seeing all of the troubles in the world, like oldness, and sickness and such. But, the king wanted his son (the Buddha) to be a king like himself, so as legend has it, the king kept his son inside the palace for 29 years. Then, the king let him outside for some excersise. Then he saw a poor man, a holy man, a religious man, and a sick man. Then, he realized that he should become religious. So he meditated under a fig tree for 40 days and 40 nights until he had The Great Enlightenment, when he knew what to do.
