Chapter 699： eldest son (1/2)
July 5, 1908. In the Munich Palace, a cry of a baby came from the delivery room. Ludwig III and Ruprecht, who had been waiting outside the door, finally let go of their anxious hearts. When the news of mother and son's peace came, Ruprecht finally breathed a sigh of relief, that he had a future in this plane.
In history, Ruprecht’s descendants were very sad at first. The eldest son Liutbod was born in 1901, but the eldest son suffered from polio when he was young and died at the age of only 14. The eldest daughter, Mingjiade, was even more miserable. She suffered from diphtheria shortly after her birth. She was born in 1902 and died in 1903. The third son, Ludendorff, was born with diabetes. He was born in 1909 and died in 1912.
Only Albrecht really grew up. The second son born in 1905 is Ruprecht’s heir. This prince has a long life span. He not only passed the most dangerous childhood, but also survived the first battle. The war with 2 even defeated the Soviet Union and died in 1996.
”Just call him Albrecht.” When Ludwig III asked the child's name, Ruprecht decisively moved the name of the second son in history, hoping that he could Just like in history, you can live longer.
After the doctor arranged it, Ruprecht could finally see his wife after giving birth.
”Ruprecht, we have offspring. I hope he can inherit your wisdom and talents and the noble lineage of the two families, so that the Habsburg royal family and the Wittelsbach family can carry forward in his hands and complete the final Fusion.” Although Princess Mary is weak, she is in a very good mood.
”Yes, he will become the emperor of the Germans in the future, and will lead Germany and Austria to a new peak.” Ruprecht comforted.
”Do you have a name?” Princess Mary asked.
”Yes, it's Albrecht,” Ruprecht said.
”Very good name, it reminds me of Albrecht Friedrich Ludendorff. The Prince of the Empire, the Prince of Bohemia, Hungary, and the Grand Duke of Austria, Duke of Gexin, and the Field Marshal of Austria. The Italians were defeated in 1866. I hope that one day, the flag of our empire can be erected again in northern Italy.” Princess Mary said with a smile, and he was very satisfied with the name.
”Well, you won.” Ruprecht couldn't help but complain. The name of this foreigner, there are a lot of charge, for example, the name Albrecht, except for the second son of Ruprecht in history and the member of the Habsburg royal family mentioned by Princess Mary , There is also a great man who uses this name, and this man is the first Prussian Duke of the Hohenzollern family and the 37th head of the Teutonic Order. Of course, I thought that the position of the two would naturally not mention the ancestor of the German royal family.
If the normal steps are followed, if the boy is healthy and free from any disease, he will most likely become the heir of the Kingdom of Bavaria in the future. But now because the Wittelsbach family has two laurels on their heads, one is naturally the crown of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and the other is the crown of the Grand Duke of Bomian Moravia. So now there are some questions. Which laurel crown should Ruprecht put on the baby's head first?
This is not a joke. Serious political problems will arise in the future. If the Wittelsbach family establishes him as the heir, then he will naturally inherit the Bavarian throne in the future, but at the same time, theoretically. Lost his inheritance rights to the Grand Duke of Bohemia Moravia. At least for now, it is impossible for him to inherit two regions at the same time.
