Paul I (1901-1964) was king of Greece from 1947 to 1964. He succeeded his brother, George II, as king during a civil war between Greek Communists and people who supported the monarchy. With his wife, Queen Frederika, Paul tried to make the Greek monarchy a protector of democracy and a supporter of all classes of Greek society. From 1917 to 1920, Paul lived in exile with his father, King Constantine I. From 1923 to 1935 and from 1941 to 1946, he lived in exile again, this time with George II. Paul was born on Dec. 14, 1901, in Athens, and was trained as a naval officer. He died on March 6, 1964.
