Bedlam comes to you

Which historical lunatic are you?

I'm King Ludwig. Ah, so that must explain the large number of outrageously expensive homes that I ... no, wait, I really am mad.

I'm Ludvig II, the Swan King of Bavaria!

Which Historical Lunatic Are You?
From the fecund loins of Rum and Monkey.
