One of the questions I get asked a lot is, “If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be?” And you know my response has usually been “Oh, I want to see what Nero was really like, I want to learn from Pedro II, I’ll want to invite Aristotle, and give up my seat for Cicero, so they can tiff over who’s more self-righteous”. But I have a new answer now: The king who cared more about worshipping teenage heartthrob Richard Wagner than ruling a kingdom: Ludwig II
