Umberto II or Humbert II (''Umberto Nicola Tommaso Giovanni Maria di Savoia''; 15 September 190418 March 1983), was the last King of Italy, reigning for slightly over a month, from 9 May 1946 to 12 June 1946. However, he was ''de facto'' head of state from 1944 to 1946. He was nicknamed the May King ((イタリア語:Re di Maggio)). Umberto was the only son of the five children of King Victor Emmanuel III and Queen Elena. In an effort to repair the monarchy's image after the fall of Benito Mussolini's regime, Victor Emmanuel transferred his powers to Umberto in 1944 while retaining the title of king. As a referendum was in preparation on the abolition of the monarchy in 1946, Victor Emmanuel abdicated his throne in favour of Umberto in the hope his exit might bolster the monarchy. Umberto lived out the rest of his life in exile in Cascais, Portugal. ==Biography== Umberto was born at the Castle of Racconigi in Piedmont. He was the third child, and the only son, of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and Queen Elena of Montenegro. As such, he became crown prince, with the title of Prince of Piedmont, upon his birth as the Italian throne was limited to male-line descendants only. He was the first cousin of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia. Umberto was married in Rome on 8 January 1930 to Marie José of Belgium (1906–2001), daughter of King Albert I of Belgium. They had four children: *Maria Pia (born 1934) *Vittorio Emanuele (born 1937) *Maria Gabriella (born 1940) *Maria Beatrice (born 1943) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Umberto II of Italy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
