Alfred Claeys-Boúúaert (senator)

Alfred Louis Fernand Ghislain Claeys-Boúúaert (16 May 1844 – 4 March 1936) was a Belgian lawyer and politician.

[1] Due to the pending extinction of the Boùùaert family (also written Boúúaert), Alfred and his brother Gustave (1842–1921) changed their surnames to Claeys-Boúúaert in 1888.

[citation needed] In 1894 he was named a senator by the provincial council of East Flanders, where he held office until 1921.

[1] Claeys-Boúúaert was involved in debates related to the colonial enterprises of King Leopold II.

[7] The Kasteel Claeys-Bouüaert [nl] , with more than 100 rooms, remained in the family until it was sold to the Mariakerke municipality in 1971.
