Note du spécialiste

The future king of Bulgaria, Ferdinand I (1861-1948), visited St Petersburg on a number of occasions. In 1898, Prince Ferdinand visited St Petersburg and Moscow with his son Prince Boris, to whom Emperor Nicholas II was a godfather. After ascending the throne in 1908, King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria and his wife Queen Eleonore visited St Petersburg twice in 1909-1910. Traditionally state visits included ceremonial receptions and the exchange of gifts.
