Also known as Mad Ludwig, he ascended to the Bavarian throne at the age of 18. For much of his rule Ludwig promoted reconciliation among the German states and supported the arts. He became a patron of Richard Wagner, whom he idolized. At Bismarck's request he supported in 1870 the creation of the German empire, receiving some concessions in return but not the territorial expansion he had sought. As Ludwig's rule progressed, he became increasingly antisocial, withdrawing in the 1880s into the Alps, where he built several extravagantly expensive fairytale palaces with the stage designer Christian Jank and imagined a dream world with himself as absolute monarch descended from Louis Bourbon XIV of France. On June 10, 1886 Ludwig was declared officially insane by the government and incapable of executing his governmental powers, with Prince Luitpold bein g declared regent. He was entrusted to the care of the notable psychiatrist and pioneer neuroscientist, Bernard von Gudden. The two were found dead together, drowned, on June 13, 1886. Some have suggested that Ludwig was homosexual and that he only devel oped his mental symptoms after repeatedly and unsuccessfully trying to suppress his sexual desires.
