EUROHISTORY: New Book – The Royal House of Bavaria, Volume 1
The Wittelsbachs ruled over Bavaria and the Rhineland Palatinate for nearly 750 years, this fact made their dynasty one of Europe's longest-ruling families. Their ranks include some of the most fascinating royal personages of Europe's long-lasting royal saga!
Theirs is a history of not only sublime exaltation, but also deep and sorrowful loss. The Wittelsbachs were patrons of the arts and letters, incredible builders, scientists, politicians, visionaries, and maddening personalities. They produced unique personalities like "Mad" King Ludwig II, Empress Elisabeth (Sissi) of Austria, as well as erudite beings, including two medical doctors (Prince Ludwig Ferdinand and Duke Karl Theodor), not to mention expert scientists like the forward-thinking Princess Therese of Bavaria!
This first volume covers the history of the family from its beginning in the XI century to the life of Crown Prince Rupprecht, who died in 1955. In fact, the book is dedicated to him, "the best king Bavaria never had."
This is yet another collaboration between Coryne Hall and Arturo E. Beéche. Between them, these notable royal authors have written nearly 30 books. They are among the most prolific royal authors of our era!
The book begins selling on Amazon on June 15, 2019. Freshly bound copies directly from the printer are already on their way to us!
