About this person

Faisal became king on 4 April 1939 after his father died in a car crash, inheriting a throne he was too young to hold. His uncle ran the country as regent while Faisal spent the war years evacuated to Britain, attending Harrow with his cousin Hussein of Jordan. He came of age in May 1953 and took the crown in his own right, but the region was already shifting - Egypt's monarchy fell in 1952, and the United Arab Republic formed in early 1958. Iraq and Jordan hastily formed the Hashemite Arab Federation with Faisal as its head, but the move couldn't stop what was coming. On 14 July 1958, army officers led by Abdul-Karim Qasim stormed the palace and executed him along with much of his family. He was twenty-three.
