DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...owing to his mental trouble which had manifested itself very markedly. Ludwig was filled with mortification and despondency over the tremendous ovation given to Frederick by the people of his own capital. The Crown Prince had covered himself with heroism and glory; he was a martial hero, a "man of Iron and War," excelling in physical courage and well equipped to awaken the enthusiasm of the emotional crowds. Poor Ludwig, who had ever shown a lack of courage, fled to his castle of Berg on the very morning of the big military banquet given in the conqueror's honor. He was torn with fear that Frederick, in the event of another war, would threaten the independence of Bavaria, and seize from him his crown. But in this direction his fears and jealousy of Frederick were unfounded, although the latter's manner was anything but cordial and full of an overbearing ungraciousness and arrogance. By this condescension of manner Ludwig read that he only looked upon him as half a king. His ever alert sensitiveness was deeply wounded, and after the first reviewing of his troops by the Crown Prince after the war, he never came into Munich to receive his royal visitor. Concerning this period Frederick wrote a diary, containing many interesting and also very personal details. It was published in 1881, but suppressed by the order of Bismarck. The great Franco-Prussian war of 1870--1871 did more to unite the disunited states of Germany jind to draw them together in a union at least of political friendship if not of national love. At least the great dislike between the North and the South externally gave way. All the miseries of Germany, the petty quarrels, the terrible wars, the awful bloodshed and sieges were due, as indeed are they not ever, in all...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe fascinating history of Isabeau of Bavaria is a tale of two queens. During her lifetime, Isabeau, the long-suffering wife of mad King Charles VI of France, was respected and revered. After her death, she was reviled as an incompetent regent, depraved adulteress, and betrayer of the throne. Asserting that there is no historical support for this posthumous reputation, Tracy Adams returns Isabeau to her rightful place in history. Adulteress and traitor—two charges long leveled against the queen—are the first subjects of Adam’s reinterpretation of medieval French history. Scholars have concluded that the myths of Isabeau’s scandalous past are just that: rumors that evolved after her death in the context of a political power struggle. Unfortunately, this has not prevented the lies from finding their way into respected studies on the period. Adams’s own work serves as a corrective, rehabilitating the reputation of the good queen and exploring the larger topic of memory and the creation of myth. Adams next challenges the general perception that the queen lacked political acumen. With her husband incapacitated by insanity, Isabeau was forced to rule a country ripped apart by feuding, power-hungry factions. Adams argues that Isabeau handled her role astutely in such a contentious environment, preserving the monarchy from the incursions of the king’s powerful male relatives. Taking issue with history’s harsh treatment of a woman who ruled under difficult circumstances, Adams convincingly recasts Isabeau as a respected and competent queen.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSchloss is the German word for castle or palace. This book visits twenty-five beautiful schlosser (the plural of schloss) in Bavaria and tells the colourful stories of historical royal characters connected with them. The history of Bavaria is closely linked with the glamourous Wittelsbach royal family, who produced such well-known celebrities as Mad King Ludwig II. This book tells their enthralling story. It also discovers other Bavarian dynasties - which got fabulously rich from inventing the postal service; specialised in being elected as church princes; or whose smart marriage policy brought them numerous thrones... Bavaria is a beautiful part of Germany and a real joy to visit. In the days of the monarchy, Bavaria was a kaleidoscope of sovereign territories ruled by dukes, princes, and bishops. From Franconia in the north to the Alps in the south, the Bavarian countryside teems with their fascinating castles and palaces. The stories include the prince who sold his country and its people to Prussia; the princess who was expected to marry an emperor until he saw her little sister; the king of Bavaria who reigned the longest but who hardly ever appears in the history books; and the duke who has been called the Bavarian Henry VIII. The fairy-tale castles built by Ludwig II are visited by tourists from around the world, but other schlosser rarely see an English speaker. This book might encourage you to get off the beaten track and see these wonderful places yourself. Schloss in Bavaria is the author's fourth book about The Fascinating Royal History of German Castles. With over 100 illustrations and 14 family trees; it should appeal to anyone who likes history, sightseeing, or is interested in people's personal stories. The author's first three books, called Schloss, Schloss II, and Schloss III, are also available on Amazon.
