Prospero was once the rightful Duke of Milan. When Prospero was busy studying his beloved books, "rapt in secret studies", his brother Antonio was busy scheming to usurp the thrown from under him. Antonio arranged to have Prospero and Miranda killed, many who liked Prospero, arranged to have them set adrift in the ocean.
