Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (Nepali: ज्ञानेन्द्र बीर बिक्रम शाह देव; born 7 July 1947) is the former and last king of Nepal, reigning from 1950 to 1951 and again from 2001 until the abolition of the monarchy in 2008. As a child, Gyanendra was briefly declared king when his grandfather Tribhuvan and his family fled to India during a political crisis. His second reign, which began as a result of the Nepalese royal massacre, was characterised by constitutional upheaval. His brother, King Birendra, established a constitutional monarchy and delegated policy to a representative government following the 1990 Nepalese revolution which ended absolute monarchical rule.
