  Michael I of Romania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prince Michael of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, (born October 25, 1921), formerly King Michael I of Romania, was King of Romania (in Romanian Majestatea Sa Regele Mihai I de România) from July 20, 1927 to June 8, 1930, and again from September 6, 1940 to December 30, 1947, when he was deposed, and has lived in exile since.
Michael was born in Sinaia, Romania, the son of then Crown Prince Carol and Princess Elena (daughter of Constantine I of Greece, elder sister of kings Alexander I of Greece, George II of Greece and Paul of Greece), being thus grandson of King Ferdinand I who was reigning at that time.
In 1997 he toured western Europe lobbying for Romania's admission to NATO and the European Union, and was received by government officials.
