About This Book

A biography traces the life and personality of the Bavarian king, from aristocratic descent and unconventional upbringing through youthful hopes and aborted marriage plans, close patronage of a prominent composer, involvement in mid-century European politics and wars, gradual withdrawal into aesthetic pursuits, construction of lavish palaces, mounting financial difficulties, and progressive mental decline that led to contested confinement and death. The narrative weaves chronological events, letters, court episodes, and artistic encounters to depict shifting public duties, private friendships and loyalties, domestic relations with servants, and the tension between romantic ideals and the responsibilities of rulership.
