Prinz Hans Heinrich Ludwig Rezkow von Heida-Weisse (b. 1720 AN) is the second son of Ludwig von Heida-Weisse and Queen Helene.
Early Life
Hans was born in 1720 AN, in the Kürstenberg Manor in Sankt Ludwigshafen. Born with a deformed left foot, he was looked down upon with shame by most of the family due to the fact that the Weisenburger Kriegstruppen officer class would never accept what they joking called "Der Hinkende Prinz" (The Limping Prince). Hans would attempt to impress his family and the officers that surrounded his father by attempting a career in horse riding. This was ultimately unsuccessful as his limp caused him not being able to climb onto a horse unassisted, and he was kicked out of riding school at the age of 10. In this stead Hans would take up reading and especially history, learning of ancient kingdoms of Cibola such as Matbaa, Treisenberg and Alexandria. Some members of the Kaiser's courts began to take great interest in the boy, citing him as a child prodigy.
Residence in East Zimia and the Wallis Islands
In late 1731 AN, the United Principalities signed a treaty with the Kingdom of East Zimia and the Wallis Islands. As stipulated in Article VI, Hans was to be sent to the court of Queen Mina II to "...continue his education..." and "...provide for the furthering of relations between the High Contracting Parties."
Hans was reported to be relieved upon the news of leaving Weisenburg, but somewhat saddened that his father (in his own words) "gave up on me." Ludwig, in secret conversations with his ministers, stated his gratitude that Hans was "...no longer my problem." This attitude was however not shared by his brother, Crown Prince Paul. Despite the major differences between the two, with Paul being highly athletic and admired by his family, he was saddened by the treatment his family showed to Hans.
