Ludwig II or Ludwig Otto Friedrich Wilhelm, (25 August 1845 - 13 June 1886) was King of Bavaria from 1864 until his death. He is sometimes called the Swan King (English) and der Märchenkönig, the Fairy Tale King (German). He succeeded to the throne aged 18 but largely ignored such state affairs in favor of extravagant artistic and architectural projects. He commissioned the construction of two lavish palaces and the Neuschwanstein Castle, and was a devoted patron of the composer Richard Wagner. Anyone who has ever visited Neuschwanstein knows how we are indeed indebted to this eccentric ruler as it is truly an almost fairyland creation that rises over the surrounding countryside.
