Front: Sisavang Vong (1885-1959), King of Laos 1949-1959
Sisavang Vong succeeded his father as King of Luang Prabang, then a French
protectorate within French Indochina, in 1904.
He supported French rule in Laos, and in 1945 he refused to
co-operate with Lao nationalists who declared the country independent.
The French rewarded him by creating the Kingdom of Laos in 1949 with
Sisavangvong as King. His son King Savang Vatthana succeeded him on his death
in 1959.
