King Zogu was very unpopular amongst the Albanian population. They saw the monarchy as an expensive affair. The king gave his five sisters,nephews and other relatives money from the state-budget, while the people were very poor.
When the king left the country as mentioned, a box with gold fell from the aircraft and hit an albanian minister in the head, and he died on the spot.
Candice:

Bulgaria had 7 Khans, 632-852 and 14 Tsars, 852-1396 before the modern state. Hence the historic names of the last king's sons- Kardam, Kubrat, Konstantin Assen and Kyril [who actually was named after Boris IIIrd's uncle I think].
