concubines

As the choreographer read about this eccentric ruler — a gifted athlete with extravagant appetites and wives, kids, concubines and Rolls-Royces galore, who died in his 40s — a production took shape in his mind.

Drawing together decades of writing, these stories follow concubines who fall in love, paranormal researchers and an older man forced to confront his past.

A few sultans later, the crown falls on Ibrahim, a prince with a fetish for rooms lined with fur and the fattest concubines his mom can procure.

But Bracton does have a lot to say about monsters, duels, bastardy, concubines, sturgeon “and other royal fish,” the “pillory and the ducking-stool," and "a judgment with infamy.”

I am pretty sure some of the older leaders in that group have even taken on a few concubines to "preserve the church."
