King ludwig gay

And to be fair, von Gudden wasn't
the only psychiatrist or psychologist who was tasked with preparing
this report, but he was the most prominent, and in fact,
he became Ludwig's personal doctor. We are near to
one another. Be it messy, epic, tender, or rough. It was Ludwig gay. Since his teen years, Ludwig had demonstrated signs of mental illness, including hearing voices.

I think there
were men in the stables that he was very fond

(15:24):
of and perhaps had you know, physical relationships with one
man named Richard Hornig, who would eventually be his private secretary.
And there was also a groom named Karl hessel Schwert
who was sort of his traveling valet and apparently wingman
because would help him find sexual partners.

Wagner appears to have been mainly motivated to keep his patronage going and may not have fully understood the harm this may have done for a fragile young man such as Ludwig.

Personal and professional calamities would ultimately pull Wagner and Ludwig apart. And he was a total pacifist at
a time where there was a lot of warring going

(06:59):
on that it corrupts people's morals, makes them unable to
entertain grand noble ideals, dulls them for spiritual enjoyment.

Ludwig considered abdicating to join Wagner outside of Munich, but (perhaps sensing the end of a gravy train being replaced with a useless hanger-on) Wagner himself dissuaded Ludwig from such a drastic course.

Nonetheless, Wagner seems to have played up the infatuation when it suited him (and, monetarily, it often did), using flirtatious language in his letters to Ludwig.

Why do you
hate himlouts?

Speaker 1(43:46):
Their reasoning. So it's possible, but it's
certainly I mean, we're diagnosing this guy in the same

(39:40):
way that doctor Gouden did, which was based on reports
and stuff like that that people writing these papers never
examined them, so it's not clear and we'll probably never know.

Speaker 2(39:50):
Yeah, I think the autopsy report was sort of a
big factor.

And
then they got their butts went pretty good. Yeah, totally great, great story.
I love Ludwig the second. Naturally, in the absence of clarity, many conspiracy theories took hold.

You can you know, see

(29:13):
pictures and videos of all this stuff, like full tours
online that was where the Byzantine influence really came in.
It has a thirteen foot tall chandelier, never had a
throne in it. So that's the thing.

In fairness, letters in the 19th century more commonly contained flowery and even passionate language that could be mistaken, in today’s blunter society, for expressions of romantic love.

And I love how Livia put it
in this section title.

Speaker 1(13:08):
No that was me, Oh that was you. One of the things that he used,
or his construction people had to use, was steam powered cranes.
