Duke Max and Duchess Ludovica (née Princess of Bavaria) in Bavaria - Empress Elisabeth's parents
MarieCharlotte:
There aren't many portraits known to the public which were painted before 1828 (marriage to Max).
I have some paintings showing young Ludovica, her siblings and her parents. But I definitely have photographs of the duchess in older age. I'll post them tomorrow.
MarieCharlotte:
Yeah, the dog was called Bummerl. :D
Daniela:
I've read many times that Max had a lot of illegitimate children. Can someone tell about them and also about their mothers. I presume that Max had more than one lover. :P

Can anybody name some special ones of Max´illeg. children, if he had some? Are they known? My knowledge of the Wittelsbach family is not the best, but I would be interested. Are there pictures of them? Did Sisi have a contact to the other children of Max, who were not from the marriage with her mother?
MarieCharlotte:
I think it's only a rumour that Max had so many illegitimate children. In my books I've only read about two daughters, but their names were not mentioned. Max had contact to these daughters. In spite of his children by Ludovica, his two daughters could enter their father's room whenever they wanted to. Besides, Max had dinner with them every day.
One of these daughters became a nun. Albert of T&T, Helene's son, told the author Sexau that the other daughter was very tall, but ugly. He met her once in Munich.
I guess that Ludovica's children knew their half-sisters as they were daily guests in the Maxpalais in Munich. It is also said that Marie Queen of Naples brought her half-sisters to Duke Max after he had died.
