Explanation

The king who did not allow anybody to laugh in his court was Balban. Ghiyas-ud-din Balban was born in a well-to-do Turk family of the Ilbari tribe and was the ninth sultan of the Mamluk dynasty. Balban imposed a rigorous discipline on himself. No valet ever saw him without a cap or socks or shoes and throughout his long period of kingship, he never laughed aloud before others, nor had anyone the courage to laugh aloud in his presence.
