Opposing the strategy of military conquest adopted by the Persian Acoubar with that of the French knight Pistion’s pacifying transfer of sovereignty, the ambiguity of the conclusion questions the legitimacy of any process of conquest. The play is a testing ground for legal possibilities, and their stakes and consequences.
