In Windsor Castle there is a kind of trophy room with assorted gifts (translation: loot) from around the world.

One of the featured items is a golden throne of the Sultan of Taipoo. I assume this is the same guy.

I don’t remember the sword, my eyes glazed over looking at the throne. It is a massive throne made entirely of gold with the armrests ending in full-size leopard heads with large emeralds for eyes.

Taipoo? I’d never have made it there. “All hail the Sultan of Taipoo, ah hah hah hah” [beheading noise]
