KING OF See also:ITALY (1844-1900) , son of See also:Victor See also:Emmanuel II. and of See also:Adelaide, archduchess of See also:Austria, was See also:born at See also:Turin, See also:capital of the See also:kingdom of See also:Sardinia, on the 14th of See also:March 1844.

time, amongst others to Massirffb d'See also:Azeglio and Pasquale Stanislao See also:Mancini. Entering the See also:army on the 14th of March 1858 with the See also:rank of See also:captain, he was See also:present at the See also:battle of See also:Solferino in 1859, and in 1866 commanded a See also:division at See also:Custozza. Attacked by the See also:Austrian See also:cavalry near Villafranca, he formed his troops into squares and drove the assailants towards Sommacampagna, remaining himself through-out the See also:action in the square most exposed to attack. With See also:Bixio he covered the See also:retreat of the See also:Italian army, receiving the See also:gold See also:medal for valour. On the 21st of See also:April 1868 he married his See also:cousin, Margherita Teresa Giovanna, princess of See also:Savoy, daughter.
of the See also:duke of See also:Genoa (born at Turin on the loth of See also:November 1851). On the rrth of November 1869 Margherita gave See also:birth to Victor Emmanuel, See also:prince of See also:Naples, afterwards Victor Emmanuel III. of Italy. Ascending the See also:throne on the See also:death of his See also:father (9th See also:January 1878), Humbert adopted the See also:style " Humbert I. of Italy " instead of Humbert IV., and consented that the remains of his father should be interred at See also:Rome in the See also:Pantheon, and not in the royal See also:mausoleum of Superga (see C RISPI). Accompanied by the premier, See also:Cairoli, he began a tour of the provinces of his kingdom, but on entering Naples (November 17, 1878), amid the acclamations of an immense See also:crowd, was attacked by a fanatic named Passanante. The king warded off the See also:blow with his sabre, but Cairoli, in attempting to defend him, was severely wounded in the thigh. The would-be See also:assassin was condemned to death, but the See also:sentence was by the king commuted to one of penal See also:servitude for See also:life. The occurrence upset for several years the See also:health of See also:Queen Margherita. In 188r King Humbert, again accompanied by Cairoli, resumed his interrupted tour, and visited See also:Sicily and the See also:southern Italian provinces. In 1882 he took a prominent See also:part in the See also:national See also:mourning for See also:Garibaldi, whose See also:tomb at See also:Caprera he repeatedly visited. When, in the autumn of 1882, See also:Verona and See also:Venetia were inundated, he hastened to the spot, directed See also:salvage operations, and provided large sums of See also:money for the destitute. Similarly, on the 28th of See also:July 1883, he hurried to See also:Ischia, where an See also:earthquake had engulfed some 5000 persons. Countermanding the See also:- ORDER

- ORDER, HOLY
order of the See also:minister of public See also:works to See also:cover the ruins with quicklime, the king prosecuted salvage operations for five days longer, and personally saved many victims at the See also:risk of his own life. In 1884 he visited Busca and Naples, where See also:cholera was raging, helping with money and See also:advice the numerous sufferers, and raising the spirit of the See also:population. Compared with the reigns of his grandfather, See also:Charles See also:Albert, and of his father, Victor Emmanuel, the reign of Humbert was tranquil. Scrupulously observant of constitutional principles, he followed, as far as practicable, See also:parliamentary indications in his choice of premiers, only one of whom—Rudini—was See also:drawn from the Conservative ranks. In See also:foreign policy he approved of the conclusion of the Triple See also:Alliance, and, in repeated visits to See also:Vienna and See also:Berlin, established and consolidated the pact. Towards See also:Great See also:Britain his attitude was invariably cordial, and he considered the Triple Alliance imperfect unless supplemented by an Anglo-Italian See also:naval entente. Favourably disposed towards the policy of colonial expansion inaugurated in 1885 by the occupation of See also:Massawa, he was suspected of aspiring to a vast See also:empire in See also:north-See also:east See also:Africa, a suspicion which tended somewhat to diminish his popularity after the disaster of See also:Adowa on the 1st of March r896. On the other See also:hand, his popularity was enhanced by the firmness of his attitude towards the Vatican, as exemplified in his telegram declaring Rome " intangible " (See also:September 20, 1886), and affirming the permanence of the Italian See also:possession of the Eternal See also:City. Above all King Humbert was a soldier, jealous of the See also:honour and See also:prestige of the army to such a degree that he promoted a See also:duel between his See also:nephew, the See also:count of Turin, and Prince See also:- HENRY

Orleans (See also:August 15, 1807) on See also:account of the aspersions See also:cast by the latter upon Italian arms. The claims of King Humbert upon popular gratitude and See also:affection were enhanced by his extraordinary munificence, which was not merely displayed on public occasions, but directed to the See also:relief of innumerable private wants into which he had made See also:personal inquiry. It has been calculated that at least £See also:ioo,000 per annum was expended by the king in this way. The regard in which he was universally held was abundantly demonstrated on the occasion of the unsuccessful See also:attempt upon his life made by the anarchist Acciarito near Rome on the 22nd of April 1807, and still more after his tragic assassination at See also:Monza by the anarchist Bresci on the evening of the 29th of July 1900. See also:Good-humoured, active, See also:tender-hearted, some-what fatalistic, but, above all, generous, he was spontaneously called " Humbert the Good." He was buried in the Pantheon in Rome, by the See also:side of Victor Emmanuel II., on the 9th of August 1900. (H. W.
