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.
