💨 Abstract

Ludwig II of Bavaria, known for his eccentricities and rumors of mental instability, likely suffered from schizophrenia, possibly due to childhood meningitis. His reign was marked by extravagant palace constructions, fascination with Richard Wagner's racial theories, and rumors of homosexual relationships. Despite these issues, his kingdom managed to maintain independence and autonomy due to skilled diplomacy.
