According to the Featured Slideshow, “10 World Famous Gemstones”, which ruler owned the “cursed” Koh-i-Noor diamond?

Its name means â€œMountain of Lightâ€ and itâ€™s said to be cursed. Legend says that whoever comes into its possession will one day rule the world.Â Coincidentally, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth once had ownership of it. However, no man risks wearing it because all men who have had possession of it suffered misfortune or even untimely death.
