Incoronato re di Baviera nel 1864 a soli 18 anni, Ludwig è un sovrano eccentrico, attratto unicamente dalla sublimità dell'esperienza estetica. Per questo protegge Wagner, nonostante l'ostilità della corte, e nel 1866 si oppone inutilmente all'intervento della Baviera nella guerra austro-prussiana. Solo e amareggiato, Ludwig si rifugia in un suo mondo artificioso e si degrada in orge con i servi. Destituito dal trono, viene trovato morto sulle sponde del lago di Starnberg nel 1886.
