Which brother?
Stormwyrm about 3 years ago
Ludwig van Beethoven’s brother Kaspar passed away in 1815 from tuberculosis, when his son Karl (1806–1858) was only nine years old. His will gave guardianship of Karl to both his mother Johanna and uncle Ludwig. Ludwig hated his sister-in-law, considering her an immoral woman unfit to be his nephew’s guardian and there was a bitter custody battle over Karl between them, which Ludwig eventually won. He was miserable with his uncle though, even attempting suicide when he was 19. Ludwig’s health took a turn for the worse soon after and he passed away two years later, leaving his estate to Karl.
