His Mother was a Princess of Prussia - his father was a mix of Saxony and Bavarian - Anyway, the entire Clan came from YOUR area - respectively North of your place - Mannheim/Heidelberg vicinity, in the 17th century.
Persistent rumor has it, that the King of Bavaria wasn't his father but some Prussian cavalry officer. This claim being supported due to the House of Wittelsbach having continuously refused to have his body exhumed and "tested". Furthermore his non-existent familiarity with his father and his "extraordinary" height - totally out of the Bavarian average and about 20 cm higher then his brother Otto.
Ludwig II, didn't even speak Bavarian - but Deutsch. He didn't give a shit about Bavaria - and even sold his right as a follower in line for being German Kaiser to Bismarck aka the Prussians. - so he could build fantasy castles.
Not even to mention his "fanatic" affinity to German Saga's and German virtues - expressed via his endless devotion to Richard Wagner and all these GERMAN legendary figures.
The useless fellow even refused to attend a parade sending off Bavarian troops to fight against Prussia and never visited the front-line even once. His favorite color was Prussian-Blue - just as all these war-and merit medals he "designed" right down to his own uniform.
