So he's killed at the wedding in 336 BCE, and there's a lot of really interesting stories about what the motivation for Pausanias was. There are many accounts that say that Pausanias was Philip's lover. He was on some level jealous, he was on some level because another relative of Philip affronted Pausanias, and Philip didn't go to defend him. There's some narratives that this was arranged somehow by Olympias, Philip's wife, and the mother of Alexander to put Alexander on the throne. There's some motivations there, because also, shortly before the assassination, he took a second wife, which was his more favored wife, as opposed to Olympias. So there's a lot of really interesting accounts, and I encourage you to read up on it. But the interesting thing is, is after he gets assassinated, well, then there's a bit of a scramble for power, but it leaves Alexander the Great, or eventually, Alexander III officially, but eventually Alexander the Great becomes the hegemon, and he's eventually, in his short life, he's only 20 years old when he becomes king, and he's able to, as we'll see in the next few videos, take over all of the Persian Empire and beyond, and subjugate Sparta, so he further unifies the Greeks and takes on the mighty Persian Empire.
