Prajadhipok (prəchä`tĭpôk) or Rama VII (rä` mä), 1893–1941, king of Siam (1925–35). He was educated in England and France. He succeeded his brother Rama VI, and in 1932 a coup forced him to grant a constitution, which allowed for national suffrage and a representative parliament. In 1933 he dismissed the cabinet as too radical. A second rebellion further weakened his already faltering position. Differences over the limits subsequently placed on the royal prerogative led to his abdication in 1935. He moved to England, where he died. He was succeeded by his nephew, Ananda.

No references found | To quote Lady Maclean again, the king in 1932, Prajadhipok, even though he had accepted the new constitutional monarchy, had lost the will not to live but to reign, and abdicated in favour of his schoolboy nephew, Ananda, the eldest son of his brother Mahidol who died young, leaving his wife to bring up three children, little knowing their destiny. In the early part of the 20th century, the "Golden Age" of Egyptology, his friends and clients included King Faud and Queen Nazli of Egypt, King Alphonse the 13th of Spain, King Carol of Romania, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, and King Prajadhipok of Siam. In addition, Robert Dahl gave presentations on campaign finance and recall elections at a conference in Pattaya, hosted by the King Prajadhipok Institute (KPI). |
