Thinking about this for a minute... The last guy - beside Brother Shriners -
I remembr to wear a fez was old King Farouk, Egypt. He last "sultan" there.
And, Ataturk did get rid of the sultans in the early 1920s in Turkey. The
"Austrian-Germany" "Czech" connection might be from WWIs "allies" with
Turkey and Egypt? This is what I remember from somewhere. Any help?
