Royal Insolence and Infirmities of European Dynasties
A sweeping, sensational tract on the Wittelsbach and Habsburg houses, alleging chronic insanity and bizarre behavior among royals. It cites King Ludwig, King Otto, Archduke Albert, and various princes, plus Queen Victoria’s kin, with lurid anecdotes and dramatic political implications. The piece interleaves other items from New York World and local columns about schools, dentistry, and a humorous Methuselah saga.
