Life

Ludwig Wilhelm was born at Schloss Tegernsee, the eldest son of Duke Karl Theodor in Bavaria and his second wife Infanta Maria Josepha of Portugal.

By royal command of King Leopold II, he received the Grand Cordon of Leopold as a sister's wedding gift in 1900 [1]. However the Prince was only 14 years old and today remains one of the youngest Grand Cordons in the Belgian History.[2]

He married Princess Eleonore Anna Lucie zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, daughter of Prince Franz zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Countess Julia Cavalcanti d'Albuquerque de Villeneuve, on 19 March 1917 in Kreuth. They had no children.

After the death of his wife on 20 February 1965, he adopted the grandson of his sister Marie Gabrielle, Max Emanuel.

Ludwig Wilhelm died on 5 November 1968 in Wildbad Kreuth.

Ancestry
gollark: I have no idea why but I never encountered any backlight issues, using the normal Intel iGPU backlight stuff works perfectly.
gollark: I just bought a used laptop, which is both cheaper and does not technically support Nvidia.
gollark: Yes, it's Nvidia's fault, but that doesn't make it work better.
gollark: Sure, but Nouveau doesn't have working power management or video decode acceleration and such.
gollark: I use PRIME, as documented on the Arch wiki somewhere; you can instruct the dedicated GPU to render certain programs and send them to the integrated GPU.
