1. Ferdinand I Ferdinand Viktor Albert Meinrad 24 August 1865 – 20 July 1927,
nicknamed Întregitorul ("the Unifier"), was King of Romania from 10 October 1914 until his
death in 1927.
Ferdinand I was the son of Leopold, Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen,
and Infanta Antónia of Portugal (1845–1913), daughter of Queen Maria II of
Portugal and Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, heir to the Slovakian-originated
Hungarian magnates of Kohary on his mother's side.
Though a member of a cadet branch of Germany's ruling Hohenzollern imperial
family, Ferdinand presided over his country's entry into World War I on the side of the Triple
Entente powers against the Central Powers on 27 August 1916. Thus he gained the
nickname the Loyal, respecting his oath when sworn in before the Romanian Parliament in
1914: "I will reign as a good Romanian.“
As a consequence of this "betrayal" toward his German roots, Kaiser Wilhelm
II had Ferdinand's name erased from the Hohenzollern House register.
