Some time after becoming king, he was murdered by his own brother, Miraz, who then took the title of Lord Protector until the death of Caspian's wife. After her death, he staged a political coup, arranging the deaths or banishments of any of the nobility still loyal to Caspian X. He then had himself installed as king.
Caspian X took back his father's throne after the Narnian Revolution. Caspian IX was later reunited with his son in Aslan's Country.
