	Farouk of Egypt Summary
		Farouk's tendency toward authoritarianism and his insistence on active intervention in politics made it impossible for any legitimately elected government to meet the expectations of the newer elements in society and complicated infinitely the task of governing the country.
		Upon Farouk's abdication and exile, his son was declared king and a regency council was established, but eventually Egypt was declared a republic and the Alawid dynasty, which had ruled Egypt since Mohammed Ali assumed power in 1805, came to an end.
		King Farouk I of Egypt (Arabic: فاروق الاول) ‎ (February 11, 1920 – March 18, 1965) was the last ruling King of Egypt, succeeding his father, Fuad I, in 1936.

		Born in 1920, Egypt’s last monarch, King Farouk I was a notorious glutton, kleptomaniac, skirt chaser and, to top it all off, he was extremely whimsical too.
		Farouk was particularly partial to married women often flmailing them to divorce their husbands.
		Farouk continued to live a lavish life even in exile, and continued his obsessive accumulation of material goods squandering what had remained of his once vast fortune.

	King Farouk
		Farouk, not being happy with a common two bedroom stucco, financed expansive home improvements (which included a second story addition built without removing the old roof) and overbuilt the place for the neighborhood.
		One of my greatest joys as a teenager was watching for Farouk in his front yard when pulling up to my house, rolling the windows down and blasting some rock station that I had specifically tuned for his benefit (I normally only listened to KFAC, the classical station).
		Historical note: King Farouk I of Egypt lived from 1920 to 1965, and was widely unpopular due to his ego, wasteful, imperious ways and enormous girth.

	After a taste of extreme luxury, this commoner dumped a king - Obituaries - www.smh.com.au
		Farouk's second wife, she was chosen from the ranks of Egypt's non-royal upper middle class to restore popular support for a monarchy on its last legs.
		Farouk's wily information minister had let it be known the king was on the lookout for a new bride to replace his first wife, Queen Farida, who had produced three daughters but no son, and whom he had recently divorced.
		Farouk's courtiers contrived for the girl to return to the shop - ostensibly to look at a special ring, at a very good price - so that the king could have a look at her.

	Writers Corner - Numismatic Gumshoe: On the Trail of King Farouk
		King Farouk made most of his coin purchases in the 1940s, in an era when a numismatic dollar (and an Egyptian pound) went a long way.
		Several American dealers supplied the king with coins, but they soon discovered that a downside to selling to him was that it usually took a long time to receive payment, especially if the invoice totaled more than $10,000.
		When all was said and done, King Farouk had amassed one of the largest, most important collections of coins in the history of numismatics.

		His full title was "H.M. Farouk I, by the grace of God, King of Egypt and of Sudan, Sovereign of Nubia, of Kordofan and of Darfur".
		The King's alleged corruption in Egypt and defeat during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, led to a military coup on July 23, 1952, directed by Gamal Abdel Nasser, who forced Farouk to abdicate and exiled him to Italy and Monaco, where the former king lived the rest of his life.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Profile \| Nariman Sadek: Egypt's last queen
		Dragged from the seclusion of high palace walls Farouk was thrust centre stage, to occupy a role that was clearly beyond his experience and, some say, his intellectual capacity.
		On 20 January 1938 Farouk was married to Queen Farida (a princess in her own right), with whom he had three children: Fawzia, Fadia, and Ferial.
		To the 17-year-old, snatched from the seclusion of a sheltered family life and a predictable future as the wife of a doctor and, in time, a respectable family man, and thrown into the grandeur of palace life, having to project the public persona of a queen was perhaps too much too soon.

		Princess Fadia, the youngest daughter of late King Farouk, Egypt's last monarch, was in the midst of preparations for a New Year's Eve family gathering she was set to host at her home in Switzerland, when she died suddenly on 28 December.
		Their mother, Queen Farida, King Farouk's first wife, remained in Egypt for at least 10 years after the revolution, before moving first to Lebanon then to Switzerland, where she joined her girls.
		They claimed that the properties belonged to their mother, Queen Farida, but the court ruled against them on the grounds that their mother was divorced from King Farouk in 1948, long before the revolution confiscated all royal properties.

		Farouk was granted political asylum as soon as he arrived in Italy, and at the beginning he refused to give interviews or to speak to the press, demanding to be allowed to live in peace and out of the glare of the world's attention.
		This became important later, since with the outbreak of the Suez War in 1956 Farouk may have started to nourish hopes of being restored to the throne, and he may have thought that Nasser's quarrel with the country's Muslim Brotherhood and communists was leading to instability.
		Farouk had made public his wish to be buried in the Al-Refai Mosque in Cairo, together with other members of the Mohamed Ali family.

	Shadow King (Amahl Farouk; X-Men foe)
		The Shadow King was able to use his vast psionic power to boost that of Karma's when he possessed her form, thus enabling himself through her to control many people mentally at once.
		Farouk relaxed his control to taunt his captives, but Kitty instead taunted him with details of the future failure of Hitler and the Third Reich, and Lilibet scratched Farouk with her broach.
		Farouk then melded their flesh and prepared to take over his mind, but Forge punched Farouk with his bionic hand (though an astral version of it), disrupting his control and returning back to Earth.

	Too Rich: The High Life and Tragic Death of King Farouk by William Stadiem
		The King initially was thinking to bring General Fouad Sadik to head the cabinet, but Sadik-who fought in Palestine, 1948- could not give him the necessary confidence because he had talkative habits, implying readiness to engage in talk -with the Divan- to enjoy conversation with those `no need to know'.
		General Mohamed Najib was suggested but the King refused him on suspicions that the General was `believed' to have had contacts with the young Free Officers movement - in the palace parlance often referred to as `an insignificant movement of reckless and over enthusiastic boys'.
		King Farouk confided his plans to the Brazilian Ambassador to Egypt and told him he wanted to make a `White Coup' in October 1952 the moment he came back from vacationing in Europe during the summer.

	David Pryce-Jones on Iraq & Hashemites on National Review Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		King Farouk, the gross but witty last king of Egypt, once quipped that soon there would be only five kings left in the world: the King of England and the kings of diamonds, hearts, spades, and clubs.
		The return of King Simeon to Bulgaria provided a sense of national identity and continuity, whereas King Michael of Romania failed to take his chance to do the same, and his country is suffering as a result.
		Stung, King Abdullah said that his uncle had "blundered," and as a result "we're all picking up the pieces." Rushing in panic to Washington and London, Abdullah is currently pleading that war against Iraq would be a "tremendous mistake" and "the whole thing might unravel." Rumors circulate that he is in Saddam's pocket.

	King Farouk
		King Farouk I, the last ruling member of the Mohamed Ali dynasty, left Egypt for the last time on board the royal yacht Al-Mahrousa on 26 July 1952, following the Free Officers' revolution that led to the declaration of the republic, in 1953, and the end of Egypt's monarchy.
		In that series Farouk described the Free Officers of the 1952 regime as communists and Muslim Brothers conspiring against the Regency Council.
		In Italy this was no longer the case, and Farouk's louche reputation did him no good either with the few sympathisers he might still have had in Egypt or with foreign supporters abroad.

		Not yet recognizing the significance of an unissued 1933 coin, the Department of the Treasury inadvertently issued the export license and the King Farouk specimen was exported out of the United States.
		King Farouk was one of the greatest coin collectors of all time, though it was not until this auction that the world learned of his remarkable achievement – the collection comprised more than 8,500 gold coins and the sale itself took nine days.
		It has been suggested, in sworn depositions, that the present coin is the King Farouk coin, and there is significant evidence that it was part of the famed collection, including the fact that no other 1933 Double Eagle is known to exist or has ever been identified.

	MODERN PHARAOH: King Farouk.
		During Farouks reign there was freedom of the press (except when British censored it in WW2), free elections and generally no political prisoners (Except when the Wafd imprisoned the pro-axisgovt after the British overthrew the govt in February 1942).
		They viewed Farouks 39-42 government as pro-nazi, which was an exaggerationÂ….the Prime Minister tried to cut a deal with the Germans/Italians because it looked like the British were about to loose the war.
		If King Farouk is to be blamed for something, then there is nothing worse than his easy and fast surrender to this group of millitant officers in July 1952.

		The reason behind Farouk’s downfall was that he wanted to live his life like young people his own age, and so he rebelled against his destiny to become king.
