Their story

His full title until 1918 was His Royal Highness Rupprecht Maria Luitpold Ferdinand Crown Prince of Bavaria, Duke of Bavaria, Franconia and in Swabia, Count Palatine of the Rhine. After the November Revolution, Rupprecht became an opponent of the emerging National Socialism and tried in vain to restore the monarchy in Bavaria until his death.
