Royal Insanity
History is rife with tales of monarchs and royalty who suffered from insanity. Although it may be more appropriate to say that their people suffered from their insanity. In some cases it is difficult to tell if these leaders' actions were truly the result of insanity or if events were sensationalized. It also seems that accusations of insanity were often used to overthrow royalty. Nonetheless, there are cases in which a member of a royal family has been irrefutably insane.
The following men represent very different examples of insanity. Some were cruel and vicious, while others were frightened shut ins. The matter of their insanity really depends on how you define insanity.
King Charles IV of France
King Charles IV was crowned King of France in 1380 when he was only eleven years old. Apparently he was a good king before insanity took over, because he was originally known as Charles the Well-Loved. It later became evident that he was insane, so his moniker was changed to Charles the Mad.
Accounts of the king's first fit of madness state that King Charles IV became agitated at the sound of a dropped spear while traveling with his men. He then murdered one of his own knights and reportedly a few other men, though accounts vary. After this incident the king fell into a coma.
The symptoms of the king's insanity progressed in later years and were much varied. There were times when King Charles IV did not know who he was and could not recognize his wife and children. Several months of his life were marked by his refusal to bathe. He even spent some time under the impression that he was made of glass. King Charles IV of France died a madman in 1422.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria
Ludwig II became king of Bavaria in 1864. During his reign, Ludwig II spent all of his personal funds on the construction of fairy tale castles. He was painfully shy and ill-equipped for his duties as king. He spent hardly any time governing his people and had a strong aversion to public appearances.
In 1866 Ludwig was accused of being insane. Whether his eccentric behaviors were caused by insanity is unknown. The man who declared him insane had never examined him. He was deposed on the grounds of insanity at the request of his uncle, who may have wanted control of the government. The day after the king's deposition he was found dead in a pond, along with the very doctor who had declared him insane.
Ivan IV, Tsar of Russia
Ivan IV, or Ivan the Terrible, had a childhood that was scarred by the loss of both of his parents and abuse at the hands of the Russian government. After the death of his mother, when Ivan was seven, he was left to be tormented by the elite members of the Russian government. He was severely abused and mistreated by them in the very palace that was rightfully his. Abuse gave way to insanity and Ivan began venting his frustrations by torturing small animals.
In 1544, when Ivan IV was fourteen, he seized control of Russia by feeding the head of the government to a pack of dogs. After that it seemed that Ivan IV had changed his ways. He made a public confession of his cruel acts to his people by way of an apology. It only later became clear that he was dangerously insane.
Ivan IV was a very good Tsar in many ways. He created laws that were aimed toward class equality. However, when he began massacring his people he showed the same ignorance of class distinction. Ivan IV was also guilty of killing his oldest, and most beloved son by his own hand. You may or may not believe that acts of cruelty constitute insanity, but if you consider the likes of Hitler and Hussein to have been insane then Ivan the Terrible certainly was as well.
Prince Sado of Korea
Prince Sado was born in 1735 and was married nine years later. It is said that his father, the king of Korea, began hating his son when Sado was very young. Sado had a son of his own when he was seventeen. After the birth of his son, Sado became sick with the measles. He recovered from his illness, but it seemed to have triggered a deep-seated insanity that lurked within the prince. The king became even more disgusted with his son. The king was said to have washed out his mouth, cleaned his ears and changed his clothes whenever Sado talked to him.
Prince Sado's insanity first presented itself as nightmares and delusions. These episodes were soon followed by violent attacks. By 1757 Sado was physically abusing his servants and raping any woman who denied him. Sado murdered and raped on a whim. He even took to stalking his own sister.
The king eventually tired of the terror his son inflicted. The king ordered Sado into a rice chest, and the prince complied. The king then had the rice chest nailed shut. Sado spent eight days in it before he finally died. Perhaps the king's hatred contributed to Sado's insanity. Either way the cruel prince died a cruel death and in the king's eyes, justice was served.
Why so many royal men of old went insane is anybody's guess. It could have been the pressure of being forced into being a king. Maybe it was incest or poor medical care. Whatever the cause of thier insanity, it is certain that a number of nations have been ruled by madmen.
