Birendra
King Birendra of Nepal ascended to the throne in 1972 and reigned until his untimely death in 2001. He was known for his more democratic approach compared to his father, King Mahendra, and played a significant role in the restoration of multiparty democracy in Nepal. Birendra's reign was marked by stability and development, but it ended tragically when he and several members of the royal family were killed in a massacre at the Narayanhiti Royal Palace, an event that shocked the nation and led to significant political changes.
