The Mad Kings of Bavaria.
LUDWIG II and OTTO 10 Deutsches Reich Mark German States gold coinage from the region of Bavaria Germany.
The circulation issues run from 1872 - 1912 with 27 total coins in the set.
Ludwig II
Louis II, by name Mad King Ludwig, German Der Verrückte König Ludwig (born August 25, 1845, Nymphenburg Palace, Munich—died June 13, 1886, Starnberger See, Bavaria), eccentric king of Bavaria from 1864 to 1886. He brought his territories into the newly founded German Empire (1871) but concerned himself only intermittently with affairs of state, preferring a life of increasingly morbid seclusion and developing a mania for extravagant building projects.
Disappointed with the empire, alarmed by the Bavarian population’s Pan-German enthusiasm, and weary of feuding with his ministers over his moves to strengthen the church, he retired more and more from politics, devoting himself increasingly to his private pursuits.
In the early 1880s the king withdrew from society almost completely. Finally, on June 10, 1886, he was declared insane by a panel of doctors. His uncle Prince Luitpold became regent. Removed to Schloss Berg near the Starnberger Sea by the psychiatrist Bernhard von Gudden, he drowned himself in the lake on June 13. Gudden also perished attempting to save the king’s life.
Otto
Otto, (born April 27, 1848, Munich—died Oct. 11, 1916, Schloss Fürstenreid, near Munich), insane king of Bavaria, younger son of King Maximilian II.
Otto fell insane in 1872 and, from 1880 onward, had to be kept under strict surveillance. When his elder brother, King Louis II, likewise insane, died in 1886, he became king under the regency first of his uncle Luitpold, the heir apparent, and then (1912) of Luitpold’s son Louis, who made himself king, as Louis III, on Nov. 5, 1913, even though his cousin Otto was still alive.
It is rumored that, despite a formal coronation, Otto may have never realized he was King.
