Ahmad II (Arabic: أحمد الثاني ; 13 April 1862 – 19 June 1942), commonly known as Ahmed II Bey (Arabic: أحمد باي الثاني), was the ruler of Tunisia from 11 February 1929 until his death. He was the son of Ali Muddat ibn al-Husayn.[citation needed]
He was born in the Dar al-Taj Palace at La Marsa. On 14 January 1928 he became the Bey al-Mahalla (Crown Prince) of Tunis, and thus the lieutenant-general of the Beylical Army, and became Bey upon the death of his cousin Muhammad VI al-Habib.[citation needed]
