 | | His Majesty Ferdinand I, King of Bulgaria (February 26, 1861 - September 10, 1948), born His Highness Prince Ferdinand Maximilan Karl Leopold Maria of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, was monarch of Bulgaria as well as an author, botanist and philatelist. |
 | | Bulgaria's domestic political life was dominated during the early years of his reign by liberal party leader Stefan Stambolov, whose foreign policy saw a marked cooling in relations with Russia, formerly seen as Bulgaria's protector. |
 | | Ferdinand abdicated on October 3, 1918 after Bulgaria's defeat in World War I, which she had entered (October 1915) on the side of Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to reverse the losses of 1913. |
