He should have been the most likely heir to the throne, but he was imprisoned in the basement as soon as he was born, 16 years old can not walk, can not speak, but because of his simple kindness has become the focus of global attention, after 3 times stabbed after a bizarre death, a huge royal conspiracy finally surfaced. --- primer
On May 26, 1828, in the square of Nuremberg, Germany, a thin boy stood upright in the middle of the square, motionless, still clutching a letter in his hand. The boy's strange behavior aroused the curiosity of the shoemaker Waikman, who stepped forward and asked him, "Where are you from?" The teenager could only jump out a few words, and the only sentence he could say was: "I want to be a cavalryman like my father." And the boy was holding in his hand a letter to Visengo, commander of the Sixth Light Horse Regiment of Nuremberg.
Waikman asked if anything else, and the boy could not say anything, and his legs and feet were stiff, and he could only stand, and in desperation, the shoemaker carried the boy on his back and took him to the home of the battalion commander, Vwesengo. At first, the housekeeper received them and beckoned the servants to bring some food, and the teenager ate a few bites, but spit out all the food. People thought it was strange and asked him, "What did you come to the chief for?" The boy did not say anything, everyone thought he was a fool, and the servant locked him up in the stable, but found that the boy was very familiar with the environment of the stable and did not refrain from staying with animals.
The next day, when the battalion commander Wiesengo returned, he hurried to the stables and found that the boy was still asleep, so Visengo looked through the two letters that the boy had carried with him. A letter, supposedly written by his careowner, saying that the child had been in his care since birth, but that it was now impossible to take care of the child because of some circumstances, and asked Wiesengo to take care of him and make him a cavalryman like his father. Another letter, possibly from the child's mother, reads: "The child was born on April 30, 1812, his name was Caspar Hauzel, caspar's father had died, but had been a cavalryman of the Sixth Cavalry Regiment. The two letters are supposedly from two men, but the handwriting is almost identical. Visengo was suspicious, he grabbed Casper, who was still asleep on the ground, and asked him loudly who he really was and what the purpose of coming here was, and Caspar was still empty-eyed, squeaky, unable to speak, and the battalion commander Visengo guessed that the child was a mute, so he ordered the servant to bring a pen and paper and handed it to him, but the teenager only wrote "Casparhauser" on the paper, which was also his name.
In order to further understand the origin of the teenager, Visengo ordered him to be searched, and from the appearance, Casper was about 15.16 years old, but his body was thin and his skin was tender, like the skin of a baby. After the servant took off Casper's shoes, he found that there were marks on his feet that had been broken by shoe jams, which showed that he usually did not wear shoes and rarely walked. A scar from vaccination was also found on Casper's left arm, which, curiously, was so expensive to be vaccinated in Europe at the time that civilians simply could not pick it up. Is it a rich man's child? Looking at the clothing, although Casper's clothes are only simple cotton, the pocket of his jacket also has a high-end handkerchief embroidered with "KH", "KH" is the abbreviation of "Caspar Haozel", this embroidered handkerchief with a name is also a high-end item used by the nobility. This blinded Wiesengo, and unable to identify Casper, Visengo had to send him to the police station's prison.
In prison, Caspar ate only bread and drank water, seemed difficult to swallow other foods, and never spoke. Slowly, Casper's strange state spread through the prison guards, and many people, including some scholars, became extremely interested in Casper, and people ran to the prison like monkeys to watch and study the strange Caspar, and Casper was always full of fear for these people. At this time a kind jailer developed sympathy for Casper, who occasionally took Casper to his home, let him play with his two sons, taught him to eat, talk, and walk, and in the process of getting along, the famous jailer found Caspar's senses surprisingly developed and sharp, and could see things even in a house without a trace of light, and could also distinguish colors; his sense of smell was also extremely sensitive, he could smell wine far away; he was also very sensitive to sounds, and could hear the whispers of people outside several rooms. These superpowers make Casper's life even more confusing.
Although Casper spent most of his time in prison, but through the constant bringing casper home by the jailer, he also slowly learned to walk and talk, and the former wild child gradually approached a normal person, and at this moment Caspar finally said some of his strange experiences, Caspar recalled: from the time he had the memory, he had been locked up alone in a room without light. It was damp and dark, and he was accompanied only by a wooden Trojan horse toy, and whenever he fell asleep, someone would wash his body, trim his nails and hair, change into clean clothes, and place some bread and water, which was the only food he had ever eaten. But when he woke up, there was still no one around, and he had never seen anyone.
Because he lived in the cellar all year round, did not see the sun, lacked melanin, so the skin was young and fair, and lived in the dark for a long time, in the process of distinguishing objects, Casper's eyes, hearing, and smell were becoming more and more acute.
Caspar recalled that such days did not know how long it took, until one day a strange man came to the cellar. The man taught him to write his own name, taught him the phrase "I want to be a horseman like Daddy." When Casper learned, he was taken out of the cellar, and this was the first time Casper had seen the outside world, and the strange man took Caspar's two arms in a rough way, kicked his hind feet and forced him to walk to the vicinity of Nuremberg and leave, which is where we began to talk.
After telling these tragic experiences, more and more people came to the prison to visit Casper, in order to avoid more accidents, the prison sent Casper to the circus, every day thereafter, Casper had to accept thousands of people to visit, he had no dignity, no freedom, no difference with animals, of course, he also clearly realized that only escape is the only way out, in a situation where everyone is defenseless, Casper finally escaped from the circus and began to live on the streets.
On July 18, 1828, for humanitarian reasons, the religious philosopher Giorg Dommer took Casper into custody, and Professor Dowmore taught him lessons in addition to giving Casper a good life. Daumer found that Casper was very clever, and he learned the knowledge that others needed a long time to grasp. With The help of Professor Domore, Casper learned to read, write, play the piano, and began to write his own memoirs. These lives gave Casper faith and meaning. As Casper became more famous, he needed to go to high-class social occasions frequently, people always looked at him curiously, waiting to see his jokes, and some nobles even had a lot of love and wanted to adopt Caspar as a righteous son. But all of this disgusted Casper, who knew that the fake love was nothing more than a hypocritical social. He rebelled against hypocritical humanity in his own way. At a banquet hosted by the Count, Casper actually took off his suit and began to sit down and knit sweaters. This made the count lose face and became angry, and also stunned those present, and Casper eventually became an unwelcome guest. This may be the inevitable fate of his confrontation with the hypocritical civilized society.
On October 17, 1929, an accident occurred, and when Professor Domore returned home, he could not find Casper, he and his servants searched separately, and finally found Casper in the basement who had fainted in a pool of blood. Professor Dowmore hurried to the police, and when the police arrived, Casper, who had woken up from his coma, told the police that a masked man had attacked him, stabbed him with a knife, and warned him: "You must die, you should die before you come from Nuremberg." Judging by the sound, this man turned out to be the strange man who had taken him out of the cellar! For safety reasons, the police placed Casper at the official residence of the city councillor, Pepperbach, and there were two policemen on duty day and night.
But this did not prevent the accident, and on April 3, 1830, gunshots were fired from The official residence of Bieberbach. When the two policemen on duty found Caspar, Caspar was unconscious and lying on the floor covered in blood.
The accident also had to prompt the authorities to rearrange Casper, who was subsequently placed in the apartment of the guardian of the higher security level, Turher, where Caspar was strictly guarded.
Even after layers of protection, on December 14, 1833, a stranger invited Casper to visit the Art Fountain in Ansbach, which Caspar gladly accepted, and on the way, a bearded man stuffed a lilac bag into Caspar, and when he reached out to pick it up, the man suddenly drew a knife and stabbed Caspar. Caspar fell heavily on the ground holding the bag, and the people took Caspar to the hospital, and when they opened the bag, they found only a note inside, on which was written a line, "Caspar will tell you exactly what I look like and where I came from." To save his strength, I personally tell you: I come from the border of Bayern and live by the so-and-so river. My name is M.L.O" Who is M.L.O? Why assassinate Casper? People have not yet waited for the answer, 3 days later, Casper rescued a life of ineffective whining, leaving only a large number of mysteries for posterity to wonder.
First of all, the mystery of Casper's death, in fact, the assassination is only one version, after Caspar's death, King Ludwig I offered a reward of 10,000 shields to pursue the murderer, but found nothing. So some people speculate that Casper himself directed 3 assassinations, the reason is that he thinks that his public attention is declining, when he realizes that his value is only to satisfy people's curiosity, when he is more and more mysterious, in order to increase the attention, he created the assassination phenomenon to attract attention, of course, these claims are only speculation. And if they were really assassinated, what was the purpose of these people? At this moment, I am afraid that the most curious thing is Casper's origin.
One of the most widely circulated accounts is that Casper was actually a hereditary prince of Baden, but because he was involved in the struggle for the throne, he was exchanged with a dying baby, and the real prince appeared in Nuremberg as Kaspar 16 years later. Casper's parents may have been Charles the Archduke of Baden and Bohanes, who were also Napoleon's cousins and adopted daughters. Caspar was originally the first heir to the throne, but he was imprisoned in the basement, and the world did not know that Charles had a living son, and finally the throne was inherited by Charles's uncle Leopold.
So who is the person who orchestrated all this? In fact, as long as we think about who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter, Leopold's mother --- Countess Hochberg became the culprit in this matter, and some people speculate that the subsequent assassination was also led by her, in order to cut the grass and remove the roots. And the strange man who took Casper out of the cellar was originally a killer sent by the marquise, but because he could not bear to kill Casper who was still a baby, he secretly hid him in the cellar to provide him with the most basic materials for his life, and when Casper gradually grew up, the killer decided to let him have a way to live, and took it to Nuremberg, but as Caspar became more and more famous, the people of the royal family naturally knew that he was still alive, so they repeatedly sent people to assassinate him, intending to kill him. Of course, these are just circulating claims, and the authenticity cannot be verified.
Now that nearly 200 years have passed since Casper's death, the truth of this matter remains a mystery. But casper's primitive, pure, contrast with modern people has to make people rethink whether the so-called civilized order of modern society is a rigidity and bondage to freedom. Are the formal rules we follow really for the sake of maintaining order or for our own benefit? A person is deprived of his right to be a normal person from birth, has become a victim of political struggle, and people cannot help but sigh and sympathize with it.
What do you think is the truth behind Casper's death, was he really killed by assassination, or did he direct himself? Don't forget to like it!
