Vive le Roi!" A Feeling of gloom and sadness rested over Munich; Maximilian II. was dying. On the 9th of March, 1864, he signed in his bed the last documents of his reign. The same evening the doctors relinquished all hope of being able to save his life. It had long been known that he was a sick man, but no one had had any idea that his last hour was approaching. The news, which was quickly spread, filled the capital with dismay and lamentations. Immense crowds of people penetrated into the courtyard of the Palace, and gazed up at their ruler's windows. Snow and rain fell heavily. The wind howled, but no one seemed to notice it. No longer was it possible to expect news which might bring consolation. All were thinking the same thought: "Our good King is dying!" The sorrow over the whole country was indescribable. At four in the morning on the 10th of March the physicianin-ordinary informed the sick man that he must prepare himself for death, telling him at the same time that his confessor was in the Palace. "Has it come to this?" asked Maximilian, who felt exceedingly weak but suffered little pain. "Well, well--God will do the best for me! I have always wished what was right." A believer, he made his confession and received extreme unction. His despairing wife had spent the night in the sick-room. The eighteen-year-old Crown Prince was now with his father. The King had a prolonged private conversation with him, warning him, counselling him, and endeavouring at the eleventh hour to gain the confidence of his son, who had always withdrawn shyly into himself and whose character was to him a riddle. He took an affecting and affectionate farewell of the Queen and both his children, blessing them, and expressing a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ludwig the Second, King of Bavaria Both the Crown Prince and his brother were unusually good-looking, and it was a brilliant sight when the popular and beautiful Queen walked about the streets of Munich, with her handsome boys beside her. Maternal joy and pride shone from her eyes, and the glance of the people was directed with genuine admiration on her and her children. Otto was the one who most resembled his mother. Being, moreover, lighthearted and accessible, he was also the one to whom the prize of beauty was awarded by popular Opinion. Ludwig's beauty was of a more uncommon and intellectual type, a note worthy feature of his face being the large, brilliant, and dark-blue eye. The boys were always dressed each in his particular colour, which the Queen herself had chosen. Otto in red, and Ludwig in blue - the national colours of Bavaria. Not only were Ludwig's clothes blue in tint, but also, as far as was possible, his various other small possessions and necessities; such, for instance, as the binding of his books, his draw ing portfolios, and his volumes of music This hue always continued to be his favourite colour.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Royal Recluse: Memories of Ludwig II. Of Bavaria Within Castle Nymphenburg, the Crown Princess Marie of Bavaria had waited twelve long hours for the birth of the future King. The new - born babe, upon whom a great and illustrious future smiles, is named Ludwig, after his grandfather. Bavaria, which through Napoleon I. Had become a king dom and which also through the medium of Napoleon, as well as later by the provisions of the Congress of Vienna in 18 15 was considerably increased in size, now took its place at the head of the smaller German States. Ludwig I., who erected the wonderful Walhalla near Regensburg, had, by consistently patronising the Arts during his reign, transformed Munich, formerly nicknamed the Beer Town into a cultural centre. The events of 1 848, ending in the forced abdication of the first Bavarian king, placed his son Maximilian on the throne. He, although a follower of the then fashionable liberalism and surrounding himself with free-thinking counsellors, withstood the foundation of a German Em pire under Prussian leadership and refused to acknowledge the Imperial Constitution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the biography of one of the most enigmatic figures of the 19th century, described by Verlaine as "the only true king of his century". A man of wildly eccentric temperament and touched by a rare, imaginative genius, Ludwig II of Bavaria is remembered both for his patronage of Richard Wagner and for the fabulous palaces which he created as part of a dream world to escape the responsibilities of state. In realization of his fantasies, he created a ferment of creativity among artists and craftsmen, although his neglect of Bavaria's political interests made powerful enemies among those critical of his self-indulgence and excesses. At the age of 40, declared insane in a plot to depose him, Ludwig died in mysterious circumstances.
