ludwig I von bayern...


as you can see i only found a video made by some weird german highschool students or something, so this first king ludwig of bavaria wasnt as famous or pompous as his later successor ludwig II of bavaria (the man who built castle neuschwanstein, whose picture you still find today on jiddler´s buena vista disney logo)...

 he is relatively easy to tell apart from his brother, since he wasnt the soldier but more of an aristocrat with finer features, and a slightly diffrent, a bit broader face... the alter you see on top, charles stuart, 1st baron de rothesay, is another of his royal identities (they all need several ones, since so few people play all those royals, supposedly from completely diffrent bloodlines, all at the same time...)
 here again a picture of him... like i said with my new birthdate search function, its so easy to find all alters...
 he also played francisco de paula santander, a fellow general of  his wild brother in the war of independence for south america..
 then he also had a trapper /frontiersman alter for the north american continent... compare both trapper alters of ludwig + karl, and you´ll see even in his old age he looks more like a wise old man, or gracefully aged king....not so much like his "Kerl" of a brother, simon bolivar the saber-rattling fighter...
 if you´ve read the thread about the history of photography, you know already that ist part of 19th century, blackwhite photos were still blurry and shady, but latter part they had high-detail pictures like these made and they were affordable too for men of all walks of life...
 then of course the american west and the high altitude in the andes moutnains isnt enough, so what are they gonna do ? exactly, they start a polar expedition... back in those days this was still a new frontier, and evrybody wanted a piece of the cake... so of course he had an alter as a polar explorer, where he crept around in the snow and ice, and the crew of his ship followed him evrywhere...the name was Jules Dumont D´Urville.. (by the way the story you´re told in school about the race to the pole between amundsen and scott, with scott supposedly dieing after reaching the pole, was also just a lie... these men plan carefully whatever they do... dont think they would sacrifice all their ponies and men for such a futile attempt to set a world record..)
 here again you can see the face of ludwig.. in his role as polar researcher Dumont d´Urville...

then he was also this other explorer, this time a british one, william Parry... who successfully discovered a southwest passage in teh high north, through the lancaster sound...
 again check the faces, these pictures show the slightly broader face...even tho both men are 30 or 40 years apart here...
 then again the spanish general francisco de paula santander.... also must be him...
 and here again the american trapper with his trapper-hat... and long white hair... and if i mixed up any of the characters of both brothers, you can contact your local government representative because you know what THEY DONT CARE SO I DONT CARE EITHER...

next thread already...
