Brabantiae was blended at the request of Francis De Hondt who asked that Cantillon to create a special cuvée to honor King Badouin (also Duke of Brabant) to celebrate the Koningsfeesten ~~(King's Celebrations)~~. This particular anniversary was special as it represented a triple anniversary for the King (30 years of marriage, 40 years of reign, and the King’s 60th birthday).
