1881 - 1962
Muhammad VIII al-Amin (Arabic: محمد الثامن الأمين; 4 September 1881 – 30 September 1962) commonly known as Lamine Bey (Arabic: الأمين باي), was the last Bey of Tunis (15 May 1943 – 20 March 1956), and also the only King of Tunisia (20 March 1956 – 25 July 1957). He was enthroned in unusual circumstances following the removal of his predecessor Muhammad VII al Munsif by the French Resident General Henri Giraud in 1943. It was not until the latter's death in 1948 that his legitimacy was recognised by the people of Tunisia. Read more on Wikipedia
