 Wilhelm II of Germany
Wilhelm II of Prussia and Germany, Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albrecht von Hohenzollern (January 27, 1859 - June 5, 1941) was the last German Emperor (Kaiser) and the last King (König) of Prussia from 1888 - 1918.
Such approach certainly marred Germany policy under his leadership, most notably in his dismissal of his cautious chancellor, Otto von Bismarck, while he had a strikingly poor relationship with his mother.
On the death of Wilhelm I on March 9, 1888, his father was crowned Emperor as Friedrich III, but he was dying of throat cancer and in June that same year Wilhelm II succeeded him as Emperor.

However, Friedrich von Bodelschwingh did not only use donations to reach more people in need: he was not afraid to borrow money, quite often presenting the gentlemen on the Bethel board with a fait accompli.

 History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 2 - Chapter VII.
This same Friedrich III., Great-grandson of Conrad the first Burggraf, was he that got the Burggraviate made hereditary in his family (A.D. 1273); which thereby rose to the fixed rank of Princes, among other advantages it was gaining.
It was in such circumstances, that Friedrich III., Burggraf of Nurnberg, who had long moaned and striven over these woes of his country, came to pay that visit, late in the night (1st or 2d of October, 1273), to his Cousin Rudolf Lord of Hapsburg, under the walls of Basel; a notable scene in History.
Then come two Friedrichs as Burggrafs, his son and his grandson's grandson, "Friedrich IV." and "Friedrich VI.," by whom it was raised to the second story and the third,--thenceforth one of the high houses of the world.
