Any king can claim to be a warrior but only a few these days actually are. Some may claim to have seen action but a few actually have. It may come as a surprise that a small country like Jordan has a leader who is not only a ruler on the throne but also a warrior in the field.
After the recent burning of pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh, The Royal Hashemite Court's official Facebook page recently released a photo of king Abdullah II, clad in military fatigue in response to the attack by ISIS.
But what do we actually know about the warrior king? The majesty's official profile states that King Abdullah II assumed his responsibilities and legitimate powers as monarch on Feb. 7, 1999 and that he comes from 41st generation direct descendant of the Prophet Mohammad.
