Muhammad VII al-Munsif

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Muhammad VII al-Munsif (1881 - 1948) (Arabic: محمد المنصف باي) was the ruler of Tunisia between 19 June 1942 and 15 May 1943. He was the son of Muhammad V an-Nasir.

Muhammad became bey of Tunis on the death of his cousin Ahmad II of Tunis. The Free French Forces deposed Muhammad on the accusations that he was a Vichy collaborator, and he was succeeded by his cousin Muhammad VIII al-Amin. After his deposition, Muhammad was then exiled to Laghouat in southern Algeria, then to Ténes, and finally to Pau in France in 1945, where he died in 1948.
