King Albert I of the Belgians (1875-1934)

I am very surprised that this man wasn’t brought up much in historical crush pages online—may I introduce you to King Albert I of the Belgians, the Soldier King (Le Roi-Cavalier). He was the king of Belgium during WWI, known for being one of the last few monarchs who fought in battle. Throughout the war he frequently visited the trenches and he was one of the allied commanders during the Hundred Days. After the war, up to his sudden death in 1934, he dedicated his life into rebuilding Belgium and the country became one of the most progressive and cosmopolitan countries in Europe in early 20th century. (Fun fact: he met Albert Einstein who was friends with his wife.) Besides being perhaps the best Belgian monarch ever, he was a very down to earth person and he loved rock climbing. In fact, despite all the rumours on him being murdered, he really died doing his favourite sport (see this news article).

My words can never do justice to his entire eventful life, but I would like to invite you all to appreciate this handsome man whose beauty has always been compared to Ryan Gosling. He always got that boyish look that I like in a man that makes him still very good-looking in his 50s—also he looks great in glasses. Despite being very tall (approximately 6’4/1.93m; my own estimate), also awkward, he looks very approachable and gosh, his personality just makes him even more charming.

Here’s one more picture of this beautiful man, hopefully to inspire you to learn about this underrated handsome boi.

This man really helped me start a lot of conversations just because he looks like Ryan Gosling and he is just too precious

#history #submission #history crushes #king albert i of belgium #albert i #by the way Leopold II is not his dad #he is Leopold II’s nephew #he also has an elder brother named Baudouin like his grandson Albert II🫢#but Albert I is a very loyal husband and a family man #even all his imperfections I still can’t stop loving him

A new dose of memes

Some stuff I made while procrastinating

(Translation: In Thy justice free me; thank you @histoireettralala for the quote)

#albert i #king albert i of belgium #Belgian babe(y)#Albert always has this ‘don’t talk to me and my son and my son ever again energy’ in pictures with his sons that I need to make it happen #thomas andrews #Thomas Andrews jr #ship bae #he Bri’ish but I’m really giving away the babey title this time because without him the disaster would have gotten worse #all I knew is that he’s innocent on the charge of mocking God #can you believe that he’s actually 38 in that one picture of him looking too handsome for goodness sake #and he died at 39 #history shitposting #20th century #20th century history

gritty both capturing the zeitgeist as usual AND educating me on the availability of free flow butter at american cinemas

#i am intrigued………..#is it to spritz more butter on your popcorn????#does the popcorn come unbuttered?#or is it extra flavouring on top of that #is it at all cinemas? or just some??#is it just pure melted liquid butter???#anyway #i just watched oppenheimer but honestly all i can think of is that tiktok comment: ‘why einstein gotta be such a cutie patootie’#yes i’m drained but also….#albert einstein in his babygirl era #long post #gritty #barbie #barbenheimer #philadelphia flyers

90 jaar geleden viel koning Albert I van de rotsen in Marche-les-Dames

Op 17 februari was het negentig jaar geleden dat koning Albert I om het leven kwam na een val bij een klimpartij op de rotsen van Marche-les-Dames, in de provincie Namen. De dood van de koning-ridder kwam als een schok voor het land. De derde koning van België verwierf populariteit als opperbevelhebber van het leger tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog.

Posting this to show that I am still working on my Brussels trip posts and not crying too much over a certain dead shipbuilder after watching Titanic (1997), though now I tend to post more early 20th century stuff because of Albert

But if anyone here want some Titanic content please tell me! I might be posting some next month🤔

#Albert I #king albert i of belgium #shitposting #history shitposting #so what I have been doing in the past few days:#been procrastinating by developing my novel instead of writing my uni essay #and I stumbled across a historical person who is perfect for the main character’s personal history
