King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev was the king of Nepal from 31 January 1972 until 01 June 2001. He was born on 28 December 1945 in Kathmandu, Nepal. King Birendra was the son of King Mahendra and the father of King Dipendra.
Tragically, King Birendra and several members of the royal family were killed in the Nepalese royal palace massacre on 01 June 2001. The exact circumstances surrounding the massacre remain a subject of controversy and conspiracy theories. After the incident, King Dipendra, who was initially declared the king while in a coma, later died, and Gyanendra, Birendra's brother, ascended the throne.
The royal palace massacre had significant political implications for Nepal, leading to changes in the country's political landscape and the eventual abolition of the monarchy in 2008.
