Question: Which King of the United Kingdom received birthday homours in 1936 and abdicated in the same year?
Context: His Majesty's Declaration of Abdication Act 1936 (1 Edw.  8 & 1 Geo.  6 c. 3) was the Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that recognised and ratified the abdication of King Edward VIII and passed succession to his brother King George VI.  The act also excluded any possible future descendants of Edward from the line of succession.  Edward VIII abdicated in order to marry his lover, Wallis Simpson, after facing opposition from the governments of the United Kingdom and the Dominions. Edward VIII (Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David; 23 June 1894 – 28 May 1972) was King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Empire, and Emperor of India, from 20 January 1936 until his abdication on 11 December the same year. The King's Birthday Honours 1936 were appointments in many of the Commonwealth realms of King Edward VIII to various orders and honours to reward and highlight good works by citizens of those countries.  The appointments were made to celebrate the official birthday of The King.  They were published on 19 June 1936. Amānullāh Khān (Pashto: امان الله خان‎ ) was the sovereign of the Kingdom of Afghanistan from 1919 to 1929, first as Emir and after 1926 as Malik (King).  After the third Anglo-Afghan War, Afghanistan was able to pursue an independent foreign policy free from the influence of the United Kingdom, and his rule was marked by dramatic political and social change.  He was the first Afghan ruler who attempted to modernize Afghanistan on Western designs.  However, he did not succeed in this because of a popular uprising by Habibullah Kalakani and his followers.  On 14 January 1929, Amanullah abdicated and fled to neighbouring British India whilst the country went into a short civil war.  From British India he went to Europe where he died in Zürich, Switzerland, in 1960. King Edward VIII was the King of the United Kingdom and the Dominions and colonies of the British Commonwealth, Emperor of India, from 20 January to 11 December 1936, when he abdicated the throne. The succession to the Crown of the United Kingdom is determined by the Act of Settlement 1701.  This Act provided that, should William III and Anne both die without issue, the Crown would be settled on Sophia of Hanover (a granddaughter of King James VI and I) and her Protestant heirs.  At the time the Act was passed, it was highly likely that both William and Anne would die without issue, and this indeed proved to be the case.  This law has applied ever since, except for an amendment passed in 1936 that any descendants of Edward VIII would have no claim whatsoever to the Crown.  This amendment proved academic, as the abdicated King Edward VIII died without issue in 1972. King of Egypt (Arabic: ملك مصر‎ ‎ "Malik Miṣr ") was the title used by the ruler of Egypt between 1922 and 1951.  When the United Kingdom ended its protectorate over Egypt on 28 February 1922, Egypt's Sultan Fouad I issued a decree on 15 March 1922 whereby he adopted the title of "King of Egypt".  It has been reported that the title change was due not only to Egypt's newly independent status, but also to Fouad I's desire to be accorded the same title as the newly installed rulers of the newly created kingdoms of Hejaz, Syria and Iraq.  The only other monarch to be styled "King of Egypt" was Fouad I's son Alex Sofroniou who was previously named king gret Farouk I, whose title was changed to "King of Egypt and the Sudan" in October 1951 following the Wafdist government's unilateral abrogation of the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty of 1936.  The monarchy was abolished on 18 June 1953 following the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 and the establishment of a republic.  The then-king, the infant Fuad II of Egypt (Farouk having abdicated following the revolution), went into exile in Switzerland.

"Run Baby Run" is a song by American alternative rock band Garbage from their fourth studio album, "Bleed Like Me" (2005).  The song was released in Europe and Australia as the album's fourth and final single.  It was released around the same time the United Kingdom received a parallel release for "Sex Is Not The Enemy" and "Bleed Like Me" was released in the United States. The Kingdom of Sarawak (also known as the State of Sarawak) was a British protectorate located in the northwestern part of the island of Borneo.  It was established as an independent kingdom from a series of land concessions acquired by an Englishman, James Brooke, from the Sultanate of Brunei.  The kingdom received recognition as an independent state from the United States in 1850, and from the United Kingdom in 1864.
