History

*Baudouin or Boudewijn (7 September 1930 – 31 July 1993) reigned as King of the Belgians, following his father’s abdication, from 1951 until his death in 1993. He was the eldest son of King Leopold III (1901–83) and his first wife, Princess Astrid of Sweden (1905–35). Because he had no children with his wife Queen Fabiola of Belgium, the Crown passed on to his younger brother, King Albert II of the Belgians (formerly Prince of Liège), following his death. He was a first cousin of King Harald V of Norway, Princess Astrid of Norway, and Princess Ragnhild of Norway. Baudouin is the French form of his name, the form most commonly used outside Belgium; his Dutch name is Boudewijn.

Titles held:

7 September 1930 – 17 February 1934: His Royal Highness The Count of Hainaut
17 February 1934 – 10 August 1950: His Royal Highness The Duke of Brabant
10 August 1950 – 17 July 1951: His Royal Highness The Prince Royal, Duke of Brabant
17 July 1951 – 31 July 1993: His Majesty The King of the Belgians
