Ludwig the Second, King of Bavaria

This book is a biography of Ludwig II, the King of Bavaria from 1864 until his death in 1886. Despite his reluctance to support the Unification of Germany, Bavaria and 21 other monarchies became part of the new German Empire, with Wilhelm I, the King of Prussia and Ludwig's cousin, as the German Emperor. The book explores Ludwig's life, his reign as king, and his legacy, including his support for the arts and his iconic castle, Neuschwanstein.
