Duke of Brabant Léopold of Belgium

Biography

Prince of Belgium, as the second child and only son and heir apparent of Leopold II and his wife, Archduchess Marie Henriette of Austria. Leopold was named for his grandfather, and for his father's cousins, Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Prince Albert, the Prince Consort. Leopold was preceded in birth by one sister, Louise, and followed by two more sisters, Stéphanie, and Clémentine, who was born after Leopold's death, their parents' last hope for another son.

Upon the death of his grandfather and the ascension of his father to the throne in 1865, young Leopold became Duke of Brabant, the title for the heir-apparent to the Belgian throne. As heir-apparent, he was expected to eventually succeed his father as King Leopold III of the Belgians. However, Leopold died, aged 9, at Laeken or Brussels on 22 January 1869 from pneumonia, after falling into a pond.

Upon his death in 1909, Leopold II was succeeded by his nephew, Albert I, whose eldest son would later succeed him as Leopold III.
