118 - The Reign of Rudolph II

This week we're looking at the reign (and dysfunctional family) Holy Roman Emperor Rudolph II, the sadboi emperor. Rudolph II was a patron of the arts while also showing a keen interest in alchemy and the occult. A good emperor, however, he was not, preferring to amass a monstrous collection of curiosities in art, science, alchemy and esoterica to actually doing anything. We look at where Rudolph came from and what may have lead him to choose a life of escapism and interesting knick-knacks over ever actually making hard decisions. You can help the Nonsense Bazaar keep the sad away by joining our Patreon where you'll get access to bonus episodes and our Discord server for only $5 a month.   https://www.patreon.com/thenonsensebazaar
