Excerpt from House of Hanover, Vol. 2 of 2 Count Palatine for a time had a son of his own, whose welfare engaged the whole of his affections. The young Prince of Luneburg, (for so he was styled, ) was in consequence al lowed to pass his youth in retirement with his mother, and under her guardianship he received the greater part of his education. The death of the Prince Palatine, in 1214, may be said to have opened to him a more Splendid succes sion than what belonged to the very circum scribed patrimony of his father; but as his uncle Henry hesitated between a desire to ag grandize his own children (daughters) and a sense of what was due to the male representa tive of his name and family, Otho reaped little advantage from these enlarged prospects.
