BUCHAREST, Romania — Romania's 89-year-old deposed king on Tuesday decided to sever his family's ties to an ancient German royal dynasty that gave Romania its royal family more than a century ago, his lawyer said.
Ex King Michael signed a decree ending "historic and dynastic links" with the House of Hohenzollern, which gave Romania its first king, Carol I, who was crowned in 1881, the royal house said in a press statement.
