| Additional information |
Louis I had already begun alienating Bavaria's conservative establishment well before his abdication in 1848, but it was his obsession with the Spanish dancer Lola Montez — whom he ennobled as Countess of Landsfeld and allowed to interfere openly in university and ministerial affairs — that triggered the student riots and popular unrest forcing him from the throne. These ducats were struck across the final turbulent decade of his reign, and production effectively ceased with his March 1848 abdication, three weeks after the Munich uprising began.
