He was unique a among monarchs for three reasons:<br />1). He was the only European Monarch in history who was Muslim, excluding the Spanish Moors (who weren't actually from Europe). <br />2). He survived 55 assassination attempts. I don't recall where, but I remember reading that he was the first monarch in quite some time to fight back against an assailant. <br />3). He wasn't born into Royalty. He established his own Monarchy. <br />He also smoked 150-ish cigarettes a day. I love smoking, but that would make me vomit. Plus, the Zogist salute looks pretty amazing.
