 | | King Farouk of Egypt (February 11, 1920 – March 18, 1965) was the penultimate King of Egypt, succeeding his father, Fuad I, in 1936. |
 | | 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. |
