Luitpold of Bavaria a Prince Who Is Worth While
A long article argues Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria is the popular, prudent administrator who declined the crown offered by Germany and Austria for his mentally ailing nephew Otto. It recalls Otto’s confinement at Furstenried and a 19th century church scene, credits Luitpold with stabilizing Bavaria’s finances and governing for decades without a crown, and notes Otto’s fragile health and ongoing care as the kingdom awaits potential change.
