At the time of the Trojan expedition the king of Troy was Priam.

Priam had fifty sons and nineteen daughters - including Hector, Paris, Troilus, Polyxena, Cassandra and Creusa - and had originally borne the name Podarces.

When Troy falls Priam is butchered by Neoptolemus, the son of Achilles. The story is told in all its brutality by both Vergil and Shakespeare.

Shakespeare also presents an old and infirm Priam in his play Troilus and Cressida.
