He did not. The first time Esther came to him, she came not before her turn had come to meet him (Esther ch.2). The following time, she came at her own initiative and had not been called by the King (Esther 5:1).
She had married Francis, the eldest son of the King of France. When he became king of France she became Queen Consort (ie wife of the king). She was also Queen of Scotland as Mary I in her own right (Queen Regnant)

A:The Book of Esther tells us that Esther married King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) of Persia and became queen. The Book of Esther is not regarded by scholars as factual, and the marriage of Esther and Xerxes is not historical. King Xerxes was married to Queen Amestris at the very time that the book says he divorced Vashti and married Esther, and remained married to Amestris for at least the next several years.
No such event is recorded in the Scroll of Esther. It was Queen Vashti, not the king, who was killed by royal decree.
Esther replaced Queen Vashti as queen after Queen Vashti refused to come to the King's banquet.
Esther was a young Jewish woman who became the queen of Persia. She was raised by her cousin Mordecai who was a minor official at the palace of Xerxes the Persian King. Xerxes divorced his wife and chose Esther to be the new queen.
A:The Book of Esther tells us that Esther married King Xerxes (Ahasuerus) of Persia and became queen, but the story ends with both Xerxes and Esther still alive so the question is unanswerable. Scholars say that the Book of Esther was really a second-century-BCE Jewish novel, so the question can not be answered from the historical record..
Not sure. Did Esther love Xerxes? There is NO reference in the book of Esther that Esther loved the King of Persia - Xerxes.
There is NO reference in the book of Esther that Esther loved the King of Persia - Xerxes, but because of her beauty Esther had a strong influence on King Xerxes that is why her story is in the Bible.
A:The Book of Esther places Esther during the reign of Xerxes, who was king of Persia from 486 to 465 BCE. The book says that the first wife of Xerxes, Queen Vashti, was banished in the third year of his reign and that Esther was selected as queen soon afterwards. 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.
Well, honey, Queen Esther and King Xerxes didn't have any children together. Esther was actually married to King Xerxes, but she didn't pop out any little princes or princesses for him. So, to put it simply, their royal crib was child-free.
Esther's husband was Ahasuerus king of Persia-supposed to be the Xerxes of history and dwelt at "Shushan the Capital" (ancient Susa).
Esther chapter 2 tells us that when the wrath of the king was appeased, the king's servants brought fair young virgins from around the kingdom, for King Ahaseurus to choose. Overall, the story suggests that it could not have been a very long time before he chose Esther. However, we have no ancient source other than the Book of Esther to make this judgement. The name Ahaseurus corresponds to the Persian King Xerxes, but historians say that he was never married to any queen called either Vashti or Esther. Queen Amestris is accepted by historians as Xerxes' only wife for the first several years of his reign.
Ahasuerus is believed to have been the Hebrew name for Xerxes. King Xerxes I ruled the Persian Empire at the appropriate time for the story of Esther, although he was not really her husband. He was a Mede, from a tribe closely related to the Persians and ancestral to the Iranians of today.
