What were some of the duties he failed at?

  • Resolving feuds and enforcing criminal justice

  • Winning battles

  • Collecting taxes

  • Reading and writing

Answer

The king was unable to fulfill his responsibilities, particularly in settling conflicts and upholding criminal justice. This failure stemmed from his lack of power to effectively oversee his kingdom due to his limited military and administrative capabilities. Consequently, he was unable to maintain order and enforce the law, resulting in widespread lawlessness and disorder throughout his realm.
