Ummm...no I mean Vashti was banished. The king married Esther and she later uncovered the plot against the Jews.

History shows that Xerxes has a son later, but NOT that Esther was the mother. I was wondering if Esther died & if Vashti returned to her original position as queen. I didn't know what Jewish tradition stated what happened to Esther AFTER she save her people.

Oops - Forgot all about Vashti. Good question. Is there any mention of Esther outside of this story in other Persian literature?
