Of course one can always discuss things.
But MUST one always discuss?
When Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth died, what was there to be discussed besides the fact that they had died.

The Margrave of Baden is personally not as controversial as Pope Benedict, I am "sorry" to say .....

If something has to be discussed it might be this:

The Margraves of Baden represent the former Grand Duchy of Baden.
But what is their purpose in life, now that there is no Grand Duchy of Baden any more?

I think that they do have a purpose.

And the there is the question of the mysterious Kaspar Hauser.

Attempted Murder​


On October 17 1829, a hooded man tried to kill Hauser with a large knife but managed only to wound his forehead. People were worried that the person might try to kill him again, so he was given to someone else to be looked after. He was given a job as a copyist. Because someone had tried to murder him some people thought it proved that he was related to a noble family in the house of Baden.

Lord Stanhope​


A British nobleman, Lord Stanhope, was interested in Hauser and gave him presents and tried to get permission to look after him. He said that Hauser was Hungarian and not of noble blood. Many historians thought that Lord Stanhope himself might have been from the house of Baden and that was why he was interested in Kaspar.​

Death​


On 14 December 1833, Hauser was told to go to a garden where he would find out about the family he came from. When he got there he was attacked by a stranger who stabbed him in the chest. He managed to get home but died three days later. No one knew who had murdered him, although a strange note was found in a black purse saying that Kaspar would not be able to tell people who had killed him, but that he was from the Bavarian border and that his initials were MLÖ." No one ever found out who the murderer was, and no one ever found out who Kaspar was.

Popular Media​


The story of Kaspar Hauser has been made into movies, both in German and in English. Books have been written about him and lots of people have made guesses about who he might have been. Some people have even guessed that he was just pretending, but it seems unlikely that he could have kept that up for several years.

Unfortunately Markgrave Max of Baden is not very interesting.
He was not an alcoholic and no drug addict.
He did not beat up his wife.
He only re-married once, instead of 1000000000000000000000000000 times as a celebrity should do.
No real scandal is known about him.
He did not live the typical life of a celebrity.
So what is there to say?
Nothing.
Thread can be closed.

I am sorry.
I deeply apologize that I tried to make an absolutely boring personality a topic in the celebrity section.

As I said:
This person is not an alcoholic and no drug addict.
He did not murder anybody.
He did not beat anybody up.
He did not attack and insult or injure anybody.
A very very boring person.


There is nothing to see and to discuss here.

So let's close this booooooooooooooooooooooring thread and move on.
