    About Ismail Nasrid

    Ismail IV 'The Golden Face' Nasrid was the Second Last Emir of Sicily, reigning from 1830 to 1834. Known for his greed and cowardice, he was on the brink of making peace with the Italians to indulge in his luxurious lifestyle. He was ultimately dethroned by his brother Yaqub Nasrid in 1834 and died the following year due to food poisoning from consuming rotten pork in Catalonia. His nickname 'The Golden Face' is ironic, given his massive greed.
