Lars Ulwencreutz - Från Oden till Vasa

Nu i reviderad och utökad version!

Vad har Erik Väderhatt, Anund Gårdske, Håkan Röde, Blot-Sven och Näskonung gemensamt? De nämns inte i svenska historieböcker. Vår första kända kungaätt, Ynglingaätten, är förvisad till sagoböckernas värld. En urspårad släktforskning i kombination med en växande frustration över att våra historieböcker aldrig innehöll en komplett regentlängd, ledde först till ett samlande och översättande av forntida och medeltida svenska regentlängder för att därefter sakta förvandlas till en enhetlig regentlängd, så komplett som möjligt. Lars Ulwencreutz sällar sig därmed till Johannes Magnus, mannen som gav oss vår kunganumrering, och Johan Peringskiöld. Hur skiljer sig de gamla längderna åt? Vilka källor är tillförlitliga? Varför var härkomsten så mycket viktigare förr? Var stod Svea rikes vagga? Var går gränsen mellan saga, sägen och sanning? Och är den gränsen viktig? Följ Ulwencreutz i hans arbete från en urspårad släktforskning till en så komplett regentlängd som möjligt – 110 regenter från Oden till Vasa.

Clara Tschudi - Ludwig II King of Bavaria

Ludwig II - the Fairy Tale King - was King of Bavaria from 1864 until his mysterious death. He succeeded to the throne aged 18. Two years later Bavaria was effectively absorbed into the German Empire. Ludwig remained King of Bavaria, but largely ignored such state affairs as remained to Bavaria in favor of extravagant artistic and architectural projects. He commissioned the construction of two lavish palaces and the Neuschwanstein Castle, and was a devoted patron of the composer Richard Wagner. Ludwig spent the royal revenues (but not state funds) on these projects, borrowed extensively, and defied all attempts by his ministers to restrain him. This was used against him to declare him insane, an accusation which has since been refuted, and this led to his mysterious death. Was it suicide, an accident or a murder? Ludwig is well-regarded and even revered by many Bavarians today. His legacy of architecture and art includes many of Bavaria's important tourist attractions. Illustrated.
