En référence au roi Albert Ier (1875-1934) qui fut surnommé Roi Vainqueur ou Roi Soldat car il resta près des combats lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Il a en effet refusé de suivre le gouvernement réfugié près du Havre et est resté à la tête de l'armée. Il décèdera suite à un accident d'escalade à Marche-les-Dames. (remark in French, as published)
