Ludwig II Bavarian

“I want to remain an eternal mystery for myself and for others,” Ludwig II Bavarian, his governess, once said, apparently paraphrasing Schiller"s beloved. And he fully succeeded. He was not understood during his lifetime, his death was mysterious, and after the tragic death and even more so, the number of versions and explanations of his priests only increased ... Ludwig II-a man-man, a mystery man .... In contrast to his idol, Louis XIV, who was called the “king-sun ", Ludwig II became, with the light hand of Guillaume Apolliner," King-Luna ". The great French poet of the 19th century Paul Verlaine said the penetrating words about Ludwig: "King, the only true king of this century, the Lord has healed!"
