HM Mwami Ntare V Ndizeye (1947-1972) was the king of Burundi briefly in 1966. Until his accession, he was known as prince Charles Ndizi. He deposed his father, Mwambutsa IV in 1966. Ntare was deposed in a military coup lead by Michel Micombero in 1966. He went into exile in West Germany, where he died in 1972. He is said by many sources to have been murdered, though little information is available on the exact circumstances.
