There's an interesting irony in that, with Kurt, we have someone who is utterly undone by actions taken in belief of a conspiracy theory, but the theory was actually completely true! The King, the Margrave/Duke, and Wendelin (along with Hermann to a lesser extent) really were plotting to push him over the edge with parania and jealousy, because that would finally give them the pretext to remove him as the heir. They just never expected Kurt's actions to involve attempted assassination, or to lead to his own death.
