This royal of Bavaria may have been insane, but he did build the Disney princess castle. Name that Mad King.

“I wish forever to remain an enigma, both to myself and others," King Ludwig II once said. And he was. To some, he was the Mad King; to others, he was the Swan King. Known for throwing money at castles – like Neuschwanstein, which is said to have inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle – he nearly bankrupted Bavaria. He was declared insane in the end. Some might say he was just imaginative.
