Editing Duke (section)

=== Belgium ===
In [[Belgium]], the title of [[Duke of Brabant]] (historically the most prestigious in the [[Low Countries]], and containing the federal capital [[Brussels]]) is awarded to the [[heir apparent]] of the monarch, other dynasts receiving various lower historical titles (much older than Belgium, and in principle never fallen to the Belgian crown), such as [[Count of Flanders]] ([[King Leopold III]]'s so-titled brother [[Prince Charles, Count of Flanders|Charles]] held the title when he became the realm's temporary head of state as [[prince-regent]]) and Prince of Liège (a secularised version of the historical [[prince-bishop]]ric; e.g. [[Albert II of Belgium|King Albert II]] until he succeeded his older brother [[Baudouin I]]).
