August-William I, or in Liothidian: August-Wilhelm I (full name: August William Frederick of Hechenreyt, Liothidian: August-Wilhelm Friedrich von Hechenreyt, 22 March 1799 – 12 December 1856), of the House of Hechenreyt, was King of Rahdenburg from 4 October 1834 and the first Liothidian Emperor from 10 May 1846 to his death, the first Head of State of a united Liothidia. Under the leadership of August-William and his Minister President Karl Franz von Auerswald, Rahdenburg achieved the unification of Liothidia and the establishment of the Liothidian Empire, following the Glorious Revolution. Following unification, August-William left much of governance to his Minister President Karl-Franz Auerswald.
The death of his wife and new-born son in 1837, denied August-William a male heir and failing to secure changes to the laws of succession, to enable his daughter, Hildegard, to succeed him brought the emperor into a decades-long depression. Toward the end of his life, he withdrew from the public and died of a heart attack within weeks of his daughter's wedding to Ghantish Prince Nathan III. He was succeed by his younger brother, Heinrich, Grand Prince of Stalendorf.
