King Albert I of The Belgians (1875-1934)

[CyrilVladisla]

Leopold II was the uncle of king Albert I not his father, as said in the article.

paola, One would assume that the writer of an article would have the correct facts and give the information accurately.

Well, I think you can assume that the writer has at least done his best to present the facts correctly, but a small mistake can just creep in, I know. The mistake that is made is not that exceptional, usually in royal dynasties the children follow their parents.

However, in Belgium they have had a King Albert twice. And the second one succeeded his brother Boudewijn and the first one his uncle Leopold II.

No President Wilson or the White House; this must have been after his stroke.

Poor Belgians, the war was over and they still couldn't get out of their uniforms.

I think I see the Duke of Brabant at the end, but if Elisabeth came, I only see a hat.
