Charles de Brouckère (6 October 1757 – 29 April 1850) was a Belgian, Flemish politician who was a lawyer, high official and statesman during the Austrian rule, under the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and later in the Kingdom of Belgium. He was knighted in 1817 and became a nobleman.
Charles de Brouckère married with Charlotte-Marie-Anne-Colette de Stoop (1767–1846) in Bruges in 1793.
They had five children:
In his life, he achieved a number of political goals under different rulers.
Charles de Brouckère got his decree in law in Leuven in 1782, and he became a lawyer in the Flemish Council a year later.
In 1789, he became schepen of the Brugse Vrije and in 1796, he became chairman of the district bank in Bruges.
He died as a nobleman, aged 92, having had a great political career, but he was quickly forgotten. He is often confused with his son, who bears the same name and became Mayor of Brussels. In 1908, the last of his descendants died childless, meaning his family tree stopped completely.
