William II (German Wilhelm II) (25 February 1848 in Stuttgart - 2 October 1921 in Bebenhausen) was the fourth King of Wurttemberg, from 6 October 1891   until the abolition of the kingdom on 30 November 1918. He was the son   of Prince Frederick of Wurttemberg (1808-1870) and his wife Princess   Catherine of Wurttemberg (1821-1898), daughter of King William I of   Wurttemberg (1781-1864). Upon the death of his childless uncle, King   Charles I (1823-1891), he succeeded as King of Wurttemberg. Despite   living in a landlocked kingdom, William II was a ship enthusiast. He had   a vision of a German Fleet reaching deep into the country through its   rivers. The king was instrumental in the establishment of the   Wurttembergischer Yacht Club (formerly "Koeniglich Wurttembergischer   Yacht-Club" or Royal Yacht Club of Wurttemberg) in 1911 on Lake   Constance. King William became a Generalfeldmarschall during World War   I. In 1918, he was deposed from the throne along with the other German   rulers. Considered to be a popular monarch, he was bitter to find he   received less support than he had anticipated. He had the habit of   walking his two dogs in public parks in Stuttgart without bodyguards or   the like, being greeted by his subjects with a simple Herr Koenig ("Mister King"). Under his reign, the family Weizsaecker rose to   prominence. With William II's death in 1921 without male issue, the   senior branch of the House of Wurttemberg became extinct. The ducal   branch became the new dynastic-branch of the House; thus, the Kingship   was extinguished and the headship of the house devolved to a dukedom,   specifically onto Albrecht, Duke of Wurttemberg.
