Deposed monarchs are kings or queens who have been removed from their thrones, often due to political upheaval, revolution, or military intervention. This removal can occur through various means, such as abdication, exile, or forceful overthrow. Historical examples include King Louis XVI of France and Emperor Nicholas II of Russia, both of whom faced significant challenges to their rule. The circumstances surrounding the deposition of monarchs can vary widely, reflecting the political and social climate of their time. In some cases, deposed monarchs may seek to regain power, while in others, they may live in exile, as seen with King Juan Carlos I of Spain after the country's transition to democracy.
