Acerca del autor: CONRAD VON BOLANDEN born on August 9, 1828, and died on May 30, 1920, Conrad von Bolanden was a German bishop and author in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Speyer. He wrote A Wedding Trip, Queen Bertha, and Historical Tales of Frederick II. He was a German author and the son of a wealthy trader. He was born on August 9, 1828, in Niedergailbach, a village in the Palatinate, which was then part of Bavaria. Niedergailbach is now part of the Saarland, but the main part of the Palatinate area is now part of the neighboring state Rheinland-Pfalz. Bolanden went to the Latin school at Blieskastel and the seminary at Speyer. In 1849, he started studying religion at the University of Munich. He was made a priest in Speyer in 1852 and then given the job of assistant pastor at the cathedral (Speyer Cathedral). After two years, he was made priest at Kirchheimbolanden. The next year, he was sent to Borrstadt, and three years after that, to Berghausen. He wrote his first four books during this time: "A Wedding Trip" (about Martin Luther), "Queen Bertha" (about Bertha of Savoy), "Historical Tales of Frederick II." (about Frederick II of Prussia), and "Gustav Adolf" (about Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden). "Conrad von Bolanden" was the name of his pen name. Bolanden is a castle and village between Kirchheim-Bolanden and Borrstadt.
