About Memucan
One of the seven princes of Persia and Media under King Ahasuerus (Esther 1:14–21). He brought charges against Vashti, the Persian queen, for refusing to appear as the king commanded (Esther 1:16). Memucan proposed to remove her and make someone else queen. The king listened to what Memucan said and issued a decree to find a new queen (Esther 1:21). Esther was chosen as queen over Media and Persia.
