Ludwig of Bavaria
Ludwig of Bavaria, also known as Otto I of Greece, was the second son of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. He was born on June 1, 1815, and ascended to the Greek throne in 1832 at the young age of 17, following a tumultuous period in Greek history. His election was supported by the Great Powers of Europe as they sought to stabilize Greece after its independence from Ottoman rule. Ludwig's early reign was marked by a regency due to his age, and he faced challenges in consolidating power and governing a nation emerging from years of conflict. His arrival in Greece on January 25, 1833, was celebrated as a moment of national rebirth and hope for the people, although his reign would later encounter significant political turmoil.
Born on Aug 25, 1786 (239 years old)
