The Wittelsbachs ruled over Bavaria and the Rhineland Palatinate for nearly 750 years, this fact made their dynasty one of Europe’s longes-ruling families. Theirs is a history of not only sublime exaltation, but also deep and sorrowful loss. They were patrons of the arts and letters, incredible builders, scientists, politicians, visionaries, and maddening personalities. 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.”
Authored by Arturo E. Beéche and Coryne Hall, The Royal House of Bavaria, Volume I includes over 330 images documenting the Wittelsbach dynasty from its beginning in the XI century to today.
