Because of his insanity, the constitution of Bavaria was
amended on 4 November 1913 to include a clause specifying
that if a regency for reasons of incapacity had lasted for
ten years with no expectation that the king would ever be
able to reign, the regent could proclaim the end of the
regency and the demise of the crown, with such action to be
ratified by the parliament.
The following day, Otto was deposed by his cousin, Prince
Regent Ludwig on 5 November 1913 by proclamation, who
assumed the title Ludwig III. He [Otto] was permitted to
retain his title and honors [thus till Otto's death 11
October 1916 there were, at least in name, two simultaneous
Kings of Bavaria]. The parliament assented on 6 November,
and Ludwig III took the constitutional oath on 8 November.
[It has become kind-of tradition for Otto to 'escape' a few
days the beginning of each November to Walhalla.

And each year's escape becomes more a reenactment than the
year-before's.]
