Many people know that there were pharaohs in Egypt, but they do not know that Egypt also has royal families.
In Egypt in the last century, there was such an emperor, who not only died early, but also died for a startling reason: he supported himself to death. It can be said that the reason why he is famous in the world is simply because he is too gluttonous, and the gluttony is staggering.
It is really surprising that an emperor can support himself alive to death, and it is rare to encounter enemies in ancient and modern China and abroad. But if it seems a bit unbelievable to simply attribute the cause of death to gluttony, what happened to him to be able to do such a ridiculous thing?
He became emperor at the age of 16
The rare and strange emperor in history that I want to talk about today is the Egyptian king Farouk I of the last century. Farouk I, the second son of Fouad I, the founder of the Kingdom of Egypt, was born in 1920 in the Hermitage of Alexandria, Egypt.
It should be noted that the Kingdom of Egypt was overthrown by the Egyptian people in 1953, and Egypt as we know it today is the Republic of Egypt.
To get back to the point, Farouk was very happy at that time, because Fuad was troubled by the lack of someone to inherit the throne, and Farouk became the son of the sultan at birth. Fouad was old and had children, so he doted on Farouk.
Fouad had high hopes for Farouk, and in order to train his son to become a powerful monarch, he allowed Farouk to receive a high-quality education at the age of five, and he hired teachers of high academic prestige for Farouk.
But as a child, Farouk had no interest in learning and even had learning disabilities. Fuad did not give up Farouk and still cultivated him at all costs. What made him slightly relieved was that although his son did not understand anything in his studies, he could write well.
Later, hoping that his son could make a difference, Fouad sent Farouk to England to study, and after arriving in England, Farouk still did not study or skill, eating, drinking, gambling with rich children, and did not do business, and it is said that hundreds of women had affairs with him during his study abroad.
When Farouk was 16 years old, Fouad I died and Farouk succeeded to the throne. At just 16 years old, Farouk was the youngest ruler in the world at the time, and his father left him hundreds of millions of dollars in property, 200 cars and more than 70,000 acres of land.
Bizarre hobbies
After Farouk I came to the throne, where did he know how to govern the country, he still behaved like a child, did not do his job, and made the country a mess. During Farouk's rule, Farouk was desolate in political affairs and greedy for pleasure, when the Egyptian people were oppressed and starving poor everywhere, but Farouk ignored this and concentrated on developing his three hobbies: sex, stealing, and eating.
Farouk married the aristocratic lady Farida after taking the throne, but he was a womanizer and still hooked up with girls everywhere after marriage, and mistresses were everywhere. Farouk said that love is "free" and advocated that love should not be fettered and that mistresses should be allowed.
As long as it is a woman he fancy, whether it is a young lady with a noble status or a child of a poor family in the countryside; Whether it is an unmarried girl or a wife who has become a wife, he must take it for himself, and the status of mistress can be described as varied. Farouk's collection of pornographic books, videos, etc. is said to fill several rooms of the home, large and small.
Farook's second bizarre hobby is stealing. Farouk's father, Fuad, died leaving Farouk with a large fortune, he could have whatever he wanted, but why did he steal it? It can be said that stealing is a hobby of Farook, who is more interested in some shiny things, and whether this thing is useful to him or not, he tries his best to steal it.
In order to improve his theft skills, Farouk also specially hired an experienced pickpocket from the prison to teach him how to steal. Although Farouk has a learning disability and does not know anything about learning, he is very savvy when it comes to learning to steal. Soon, Farouk mastered the theft skills taught by the old pickpocket.
In order to satisfy his desire to steal, Farouk often organized some princes and nobles to hold drinking parties or balls. At this time, Farouk would walk between the guests as if nothing happened, pretending to talk to them, and unknowingly stealing their things.
Farouk steals everything, lipstick and rouge for women, lighters, watches, pens and so on for men. When something is stolen, Farouk will quietly hide in another room to admire his loot, and looking at a large number of stolen things, Farouk will have a full "sense of achievement" in his heart.
Farouk also has a hobby, which is eating. Farouk is particularly gluttonous and eats a lot of food, it is said that a meal takes four hours, and the longest one actually took seven hours, and is a super big stomach king. He likes to eat high-calorie foods such as chocolate and cheese, and especially likes to drink. Farouk weighed more than three hundred pounds when he weighed the most, and it is estimated that he should be the heaviest king in history.

Farook's three hobbies made his mind completely off governing the country. Egypt was in chaos under his rule, the people were living in poverty, class contradictions became more and more acute, and the Egyptian people's resentment against the government was accumulating.
Finally in 1952, when Nasser's Free Officers organized an unannounced siege of the Egyptian king's Hermitage, Farouq was forced to sign his abdication and take the throne by his six-month-old son.
Tragic ending
After his abdication, Farouk was forced into exile in Italy, but he left with him a large amount of jewelry and continued to be extravagant when he arrived in Italy.
After losing power, Farouk's hobbies remained, and he was still, thief, and delicious in Italy. In 1958, Farouk was stripped of his status as an Egyptian citizen, and later settled in Rome, the capital of Italy, where he spent the last dozen years of his life. Farouk's death can be said to have been buried by his gluttonous vice.
Farouk's days in Italy, listless all day because of the blow of being forced to abdicate, without the dignity and glory of the past, were a waste in the eyes of others. In 1954, Farook's queen also divorced Farouk, which made Farouk even more frustrated and lost hope in life.
In addition to looking for women, Farouk often locked himself in a small dark room, accompanied by many foods, eating while watching TV, eating day and night, and never stopping.
On March 18, 1956, Farouk died at the age of 45 in the San Camilok Hospital in Rome, Italy. According to Farook's attending doctor, he survived, and the last meal he ate before he died consisted of 12 lobsters, 5 bowls of fried rice, 10 oysters, 8 fish, and countless cheeses, vegetables, fruits, and more. The food piled up in Farook's stomach, causing him to be propped up alive.
Throughout Farook's life, he succeeded to the throne at the age of 16, but after only 16 years as emperor, he was forced to sign and abdicate due to a failed political struggle, and in the following 13 years of exile, he was free from disease or persecution, but died of eating too much at 45.
After the death of Farouk I, Egypt ended the era of monarchy once and for all. The king, who once had supreme power, ended his life by holding up his life, which is really speechless. But anyway, Farouk went on the road when he was full, and he was worthy of so much wealth he once had.
Finally, the second sister of the last emperor is the first empress who married the Iranian Shah Pahlavi, was forced to divorce because she could not give birth to a boy, and finally married a colonel of the Egyptian army.
After the coup in Egypt, her royal family fled abroad, and she stayed in Egypt, while her husband died of illness, leaving her alone and accompanied her in a difficult life with only a pair of children. She only returned to Egypt in the 90s to settle down, and was buried with her husband after her death.
