Wilhelm the Overeager

Wilhelm Adalger Gauss (621—641) was a Prince of Osteria, the son of King Leonhard I, and brother of later King Otto IV. Wilhelm's vigor was a point of legitimacy for his father's ascension to the crown—being a demonstrably supple heir, Wilhelm eagerly seized a command to fight for his father's claim in the Fifteen Years War, but courageously rode to his death at the Battle at Neukirch, arguably saving the battle for the unitarians and, likely, the war. He was derisively called "overeager" before the battle—afterwards, it became a title of admiration.
