King Ludwig II Of Bavaria Born August 24th

Son of King Maximillian II and Queen Maria, Ludwig Friedrich Wilhelm was born August 24th, 1845 at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, Germany. Ludwig became king on March  10, 1864 at age eighteen. Ludwig became so enamored of Richard Wagner's music that he paid the composer's substantial debt. A marriage to Princess Sophie was at first delayed and then cancelled after Ludwig met and fell in love with the  blond, blue eyed Richard Hornig, followed by a string of other handsome gentlemen.
