Queen Esther wife of Xerxes Chronological, Historical and Archaeological Evidence by Gerard Gertoux
After Xerxes had been killed (14/V/21 that is August 24, 475 BCE) there was no king any more because Artabanus was only his legal representative. Herodotus wrote: Have no fear, therefore, on this score; but keep a brave heart and uphold my house and empire. To thee, and thee only, do I intrust my sovereignty (The Histories VII:52), but Artabanus is never mentioned as coregent: For in the three following generations of Darius the son of Hystaspes, Xerxes the son of Darius, and Artaxerxes the son of Xerxes (The Histories VI:98). Justinus and Aristotle even suggest clearly that Darius, the eldest son of Xerxes, was the designated heir.
