- CRAZY KING LOUIS
His Part in the Pitiful Tragedy
at Lake Stranberg.
SLEW HIS FRIEND AND DIED.
f The Mad Bavarian Monarch Baat
Faithful Dr. von Gudden to Death
Before Heart Disease Stopped Hia
Own Dash For Liberty.
For mouths preceding the tragedy
on June 13, 1880. that ended his life
King Louis II. of Buvarla had revealed
many unmistakable signs of
mental derangement. He heard mysterious
voices in the air around him
and believed that he was constantly
pursued by dangerous enemies *He1
withdrew entirely from the world, his
cabinet miuisters were unable to ob-'
tain access to him. and his domestic
servants were forbidden to look at his
face, being compelled to approach him
with averted eyes. The old valet
-.Meier was obliged to don a mask to
cover his features whenevenJie went
near the king, and many other strange
things happened at the magnificent
palace which Louis had built for himself
with reckless extravagance.
Wearing his crown and purple royal
mantle, with the scepter of sovereignA
ty in his hand. King Louis weald wander
through the rooms of his castles
at night, conversing with imaginary
guests, for the most part with the
ghosts of King Louis XIV. of France
and Queen Marie Antoinette. Frequently
places were laid at his table
for their disembodied spirits.
Th?i king's debts brought matters to
n crisis and necessitated the interven:Ion
of the Bavarian government Mo9t
?>? the royal liabilities had been Contracted.
through the construction and
decoration of the famous three castles,
and several creditors threatened to Initiate
proceedings to recover their
money. King Louis requested the government
to introduce a bill in the Bavarian
legislature granting his property
immunity from seizure for debts,
and when his ministers refused this
unreasonable demand he tried to borrow
money from all sorts and conditions
of people.
In April. 1880. the Bavarian chamber
refused to sanction the payment of the
king's dqbts from the public treasury,
and a few days later the cabinet addressed
a respectful petition to Louis
to curtail his expenditures. King Louis ;
responded by dismissing the whole t
cabinet and nominating a Dew ministry.
at the head of which he placed his
own barber.
This irresponsible act brought mat- j
ters to a head. x. cqmzaissioa of med-1
leal experts, under the presidency of i
Dr. von Gudden, pronounced the king!
te be incurably insane and incapable J
of ruling, and a deputation under
Baron von Crailsheim was dispatched!
from Munich to the castle where Louis |
was in residence to inform his majesty
of his dethronement The king had
Baron von Crailsheim and all the
members of the deputation arrested.
Then Dr. von Gudden proceeded to
Neuschwanstein castle, where. to all
outward appearances he succeeded in
persuading the king to submit to his j
dethronement and to retire to Berg
castle, near the shores of Lake Stan J
berg, where the final tragedy was en-;
acted. The king was escorted to Bergi
castle by Dr. von Gudden. another
medical man. Dr. Mueller, and several
trained attendants, and he seemed to
acquiesce in the arrangement that he
should remain there for a year under!
close supervision.
Dr. von Gudden. misled by appear- j
ances. telegraphed to Munich that his
royal patient was "as obedient as a
ftllM onH n? I
promised to take the king for a walk I
In the park. His assistant. Dr. Mueller,
warned him that It would be
dangerous to go alono with the king
and urged him to allow an attendant
to accompany them, or at least to follow
them at a discreet distance, but
Dr. von Guddcn disregarded the younger
man's advice and paid the penalty
with Lis life. It was a Sunday evening,
and a general feeling of uneasiness
prevailed among those who had
remained at the castle when the king
and Dr. von Gudden failed to reappear
after an hour had elapsed. Search
parties were organized, and during the
night one of the royal footmen found
the king's hat, coat and overcoat close
to the hank of the lake and Dr. von
Gudden's umbrella close by on the
ground.* The bodies of the king and
his physician were' found not far from
the shore of the lake. In shallow water,
both beads projecting above the
surface. Dr. von Gudden's face and i
head bore the marks of heavy blows |
which the king, a man of Immensely
powerful build, had showered upon
liim.
_ The position of the bodies and the
articles of clothing found uear them
made it possible to surmise, with probable
accuracy, the details of the tragedy.
It Is likely that the king intended
to escape from his prison?for as such
he regarded the castle in which he
was kept as a madman?and that he |
A vested himself of overcoat and coat |
to swim across the lake. Dr. von Gndden.
It appears, closed wtth him at the
water's edge and tried to prevent his
turf*, but the king killed him and died
from heart disease at the moment
when he was on the point of beglnihi
his swim for liberty. The postndftia
examination revtfkd that
neither bed died from droning, but
the king from heart failure *nd Dr.
