<h3>King Ludwig II</h3>
|

<p>Which brings me to King Ludwig II of Bavaria. If I understand correctly,
|
||||
King Ludwig was very fond of Lohengrin, and built Neuschwanstein Castle
|
||||
<p>Which brings me to
|

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_II_of_Bavaria" target="_blank">King Ludwig II of Bavaria</a>.

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuschwanstein_Castle" target="_blank">Neuschwanstein Castle</a>

as a private world for himself where he could live alone in a fantasy

|
||||
<p>But don't judge King Ludwig II too harshly: he was after all a cigar connoisseur,
|
||||
drove a smoking-hot golden carriage, and Neuschwanstein Castle is
|
||||
an excellent place to take selfies. You really should visit the
|

Marstallmuseum at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich and see the golden

carriage.</p>

<h3>Lohengrin</h3>
|
||||
<p>So what happens in Lohengrin? King Henry the Fowler fights the Magyars.
|
||||
This means we have to talk about the Magyars, King Henry's Son Otto,
|
||||
the Battle of Augsburg which is sometimes called the Battle of Lechfeld,
|

and the Mongols!</p>

<h3>Magyars</h3>
|
||||
<p>Ok, the Magyars are descended from a nomadic-steppe-people who settled on
|
||||
the Hungarian Plain, which is sometimes called the Carpathian Plain.</p>
|
||||
the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Hungarian_Plain" target="_blank">Hungarian Plain</a>,
|
||||
which is sometimes called the Carpathian Plain.</p>
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately for them, the Hungarian Plain was not quite vast
|
||||
enough to support a prosperous nomadic lifestyle. And so for some hundreds
|
||||
of years, the Magyars raided and pillaged all over Europe. It should be noted that
|
||||
Hungary considers 1896 to be the 1000th anniversary of the Magyars entering
|
||||
the Carpathian Plain, and in that year many memorials, monuments, and museums
|
||||
were built in Budapest.</p>

<p>The Magyars were finally defeated by King Henry the Fowler's son King Otto I

near Augsburg in 910, Augsburg being an ancient city in Bavaria that goes all

<p>Anyway, the Magyars gave up their raiding, became Christianized, and adopted
|

a more agrarian lifestyle on the Hungarian Plain where they founded the Nation
|

of Hungary around the year 1000. In the 13th Century, the Mongols invaded Hungary,
