Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Michael I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen was born in 1921, the only son of King Carol II of Romania. He reigned for two periods, as a child from 1927-1930 and from 1940-1947. He was forced to abdicate a few hours before a communist republic was declared in December 1947. Michael went into exile in London the following year and was stripped of his Romanian citizenship, which he only regained in 1997. On 31st January 1991, King Michael and Queen Anne made an official visit to SSEES where he gave a lecture.
