The purpose of this study is to examine the happy relationship between Richard Wagner and his royal patron, the Ludwig Ⅱ in Barbaria. The main portion of this study is to explore the multi-faceted nature of the Barbarian King: that is, Ludwig Ⅱ as a political leader, an art-loving patron and a dreamy platonic lover with homo-sexsual inclinations. What are the political situations in western Europe, including Barbaria, Prussia, and Austria in the second half of the nineteenth century? What are the historic consequences of the king's unconditional love toward Wagner's music? What is the conception of German national hero and how is that conception related to the characters in Wagner's major operas? These are the questions to be answered here.
