BULGARIA: King Ferdinand I to be buried in Bulgaria 76 years after his death

SOFIA-SABA
The remains of King Ferdinand I (1861-1948), who reigned between 1887 and 1918, were brought to Bulgaria 76 years after his.

The remains of the first King of the Third Bulgarian Kingdom were transported from the German town of Coburg to Sofia by a military aircraft, which landed at Sofia Airport on Wednesday.

The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) reported that Ferdinand I of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (1861-1948) was a German prince, Bulgarian Prince (June 25, 1887-September 22, 1908), and King (September 22, 1908-October 3, 1918) of Bulgaria.

On June 25, 1887, the Third Grand National Assembly elected him Prince of Bulgaria. On September 22, 1908, after the proclamation of the independence of Bulgaria, Ferdinand I was proclaimed Tsar of the Bulgarians.

According to BTA at the conclusion of the Armistice of Salonica (September 29, 1918, by which Bulgaria capitulated and exited World War I) the Entente (a military-political bloc between Britain, France and Russia, formed in 1904-1907) set the condition for Ferdinand I to abdicate the throne and leave Bulgaria. On October 3, 1918, he signed a manifesto renouncing the throne in favour of his son Boris III.
