 glbtq >> social sciences >> Ludwig II of Bavaria
Ludwig II is better known for his enthusiastic patronage of Richard Wagner and for his fabulous castles than for his conduct of affairs of state.
When Ludwig ascended to the throne of Bavaria at the age of eighteen (upon the death of his father, Maximillian II, in 1864), one of his first acts as king was to send for Wagner, for whom he immediately provided a rent-free house and a generous annual stipend.
Ludwig had an obsessive devotion to the handsome Paul but eventually broke with him after hearing rumors that the prince was involved in relationships with women.

Ludwig's friendship with the liberal Lola had proven to be the last straw for the long-suffering Bavarians, who had found his behavior over the years unseemly for the monarch of a Catholic kingdom.
The revolution in Bavaria was exceptional for Germany in 1848 in that a conservative government was returned and the liberals expelled.
