Thank you for looking at the pictures. I'm a bit relieved that you see no resemblence. He sure was a handsome gent, and I'm sure he appreciates you saying that (from heaven.) All of his great grandchildren look like him, except one of us looks exactly like Prince William of England, and no one in my family knows how that happened.
In Neukirchen, Saxony, there is an entire fire department of young men who look like that. Unfortunetely, we all grow up, and end up looking like Ludwig or Otto when they were lying in state (those two funeral pictures horrify me, because it is like seeing myself dead.)
Were the Wittelsbachs Catholics? And did Ludwig get his long curley hair from his mother? Or, was that part of the cosmetics and fashion of the day?
