Succession is a family affair, and in the era of low productivity, more people means greater strength. Therefore, in ancient times, the policy was also to encourage fertility, especially the monarchs of ancient feudal society, that is simply to take the lead in childbearing, the number of children and grandchildren of the royal family can hardly be described by "children and grandchildren full of halls", it can be called "children and grandchildren full of halls" and today we want to talk about the 3 most able to give birth.
Moulay Ismail
Born in 1647, Moulay Ismail was the second sultan of the Alawite dynasty of Morocco. He is also a Sultan in Moroccan history who can be compared to Ahmed Mansour. During The reign of Moulay Ismail, Morocco prospered economically and regained most of the strongholds occupied by Europeans.
Under the leadership of Moulay Ismail, Morocco maintained its independence under the two-way attack of european colonists and the Ottoman Empire, allowing the Alawite dynasty established on the ruins to maintain a long-term ruling foundation. In addition to the brilliant exploits of Moulay Ismail, the most familiar is his ability to "have children".
In the harem of Moulay Ismail, there are more than 500 beautiful wives and concubines from different countries, some are the gold of the famous nobles of Morocco, some are beautiful women from the people, and some are beautiful women from other countries who come to Morocco, Moulay Ismail has never favored a princess, and each princess is equally favored. In the end, more than 500 princesses gave birth to 525 sons and 342 daughters for Moulay Ismail, a total of 867 children, which is the most child-bearing person in history.
Liu Sheng
Born in 165 BC, Liu Sheng was the son of Liu Qi, the Emperor of The Han Dynasty, the elder brother of Emperor Wu of Han, and the King of Zhongshan Jing in the Western Han Dynasty. And although he was not an emperor, he was definitely more alive than any emperor in Chinese history. The "Records of History" records that Liu Sheng was a greedy and lustful person, so he was also a group of wives and concubines, and the Book of Han records that Liu Sheng had more than one hundred and twenty sons.
However, this was not a good thing for Liu Sheng's branch, in order to limit the power of the princes during the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he implemented the Tuien Order, that is, every son must inherit the fiefdom, and in the end, naturally, the more the fief is. After Liu Bei often called himself "King Jing of Zhongshan" in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this is actually nothing remarkable, because there are too many descendants of King Jing of Zhongshan.
Abdul Aziz ibn Saud.
Born in 1880 as the founder of the modern Saudi Arabian state, in 1902 at the age of 21 Aziz led more than 40 warriors, rode camels, captured Riyadh, and after 30 years of conquest, established the third Saudi emirate in September 1932, and Abdul became the first king of Saudi Arabia, thus being called the greatest Arab since Muhammad by his contemporaries.
