On this recommendation the king formally adopted Jugurtha and made him co-heir with his own children.

- Tell me, may not a king adopt an heir?

The king and queen, impressed that the boy has understood the shortcomings of logic, adopted him.

His beard, too, is quite different from that of the Libyan desert tribes which the early Egyptian kings adopted.

The king, who was childless, adopted Ingénu as his son.

At any rate, the king had certainly adopted a more hostile attitude towards Alexander.

Another king of the period, Senusret IV, adopted a similar royal name.

That was the action of a patriot, and neither I nor the king who adopted me could blame the admiral for what he did.

He also praised the bravery of the Saxons and finally welcomed "foreign kings adopted here."

What's the plan, that the king adopt me?
