First, apparently there has been a terrorist act in Stockholm, three dead confirmed. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a bad thing. Still one want to add - as a (right wing) politician tweeted - before this the last real terrorist attack was all the way back in 1975 when West German terrorist blow up the West German ambassad in Stockholm. We have also been lucky.
Wanna see something nice instead I noticed that I have two biographies about European, historical royalty at home. The lonely empress, about Elisabeth, empress of Austria queen of Hungary (1837-1898), and The Swan king about Ludwig II of Bavaria (1845-1886) .
I really have no interest in Royalties. For example I have never read any biography about our own Royal family. No the the only thing I was going to write about is Ludwig II. There is some cult around him, maybe you know more, but he’s mostly known for the castle Neuschwanstein (literary New Swan Stone, a name at least I find weird). Always described as an inspiration for the Disney Castle.
