Victor Emanuel III
1911 (3 November) autograph letter to the Khedive of Egypt, written in French, and signed "Vittorio Emanuel", as King of Italy. Photo

Victor Emmanuel III (1869-1947) was King of Italy (1900-1946). In addition, he claimed the thrones of Ethiopia and Albania as Emperor of Ethiopia (1936–41) and King of the Albanians (1939–43), which were not recognised by all great powers. During his long reign (45 years), which began after the assassination of his father Umberto I, the Kingdom of Italy became involved in two World Wars. His reign also encompassed the birth, rise, and fall of Italian Fascism.
