Page "Otto of Greece" Paragraph 58

He died in the palace of the former bishops of Bamberg, Germany, and was buried in the Theatiner Church in Munich.

During his retirement, he would still wear the traditional uniform nowadays worn only by the evzones ( Presidential Guards ).

During the rebellion in Crete against the Ottoman Empire in 1866, Otto donated most of his fortune to support the revolt by supplying it with weapons.

He also made provisions for his donation to be kept secret until his death, to avoid causing political problems to the new King, George I.
