Jaroslav Glazkö

Sixth heir of High King Ambrosius Raphaël Costeau King of Kings. The Conqueror of Äreåß, destroyer of Terró.
In the fifty-second year past the day of the High King's birth, King Franscio The Inept of Hallengard perished underneath his own pillow. Childless and married to a commoner, the throne was left in regency for three months. Eventually, it was granted to the Sixth Heir of the High King (King of Kings), Jaroslav Glazkö. (Who was a year prior married to their distant cousin. In their father's effort to stabilize the realm against insurrection)
The reign of Jaroslav The Possessed Glazkö lasted a short three years, ending via assassination. There is not much written or to be written of the ruler from these years besides folktales. Factually, the youth achieved little in their reign. The height of their accomplishments was indirectly causing war between Hallengard and Aedwin due to their eccentric behavior.
In folk, the young king is an interesting character. Below are a few stories from the lower classes...
In one of the king's feasts with the king of Aedwin, a pie was served that had possessed the young king causing them to move erratically. Nothing like this had been seen in the Hales, though the Aedwinian king had attempted to mimic the young king in their movement. This is the origin story to Purgatio Motus, a peasant feast in the spring where they attempt to recreate the young king's movement to celebrate the end of winter.
During the imprisonment of the young king, they had refused to listen to any command or movement, focused intensely on a single point in the corner of the roof. Seemingly conscious in a different reality. Criminals believe this point is a portal to Elysium, uncovered to the king in a vision. Due to several self-maiming and suicide of prisoners locked in the cell of the young king (In increasingly bizarre attempts to 'reopen' the portal), it had been permanently locked with the key destroyed.
Due to the lack of retaliation of the Glazkö dynasty to regain their holdings in the Hales, certain villages believe the young king was never captured and or killed, but rather went into hiding for conflicting reasons. These conspiracies vary villa to villa, but the largest movement is one that claims the young king was lifted up to Elysium for his piety, and will return when the time is right to unify the Hales under one king to destroy injustice and violence.
