November 15
King Leopold I (1790-1865) of Belgium was named after St. Leopold, whose feast is
celebrated on this day.
He was the first leader of Belgium after it achieved independence from the Netherlands in
1831, and reigned until his death.
Also known as Dynasty Day, or Fete de la Dynastie, the day is a major observance
particularly among Belgium's German-speaking community.
