Umberto II

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Umberto II (1904–1983)

King of Italy May–June 1946. When his father Victor Emmanuel III abdicated in May 1946, he was proclaimed king, and ruled 9 May–13 June 1946. He was forced to abdicate as the monarchy's collusion in the rise of fascism made him highly unpopular, and a referendum decided in favour of a republic. He retired to Portugal, where he died.

Umberto II was educated at the military academy in Turin. He married Princess Marie Jose of Belgium in 1930, and was appointed regent by his father in June 1944. While in exile in Portugal, he styled himself the ‘Count Di Sarre’.
