Quite the Eurocentrism there. No Faisal II of Iraq?

I've always been fond of the story of what happened to the caliph al-Musta'sim when Hulagu Khan sacked Baghdad in 1258. Due to the Mongol taboo against spilling royal blood they wrapped him in a carpet and used horses to trample him to death. Hard to come up with a more picturesque end to a monarchy.
