He wanted power. The way he sought to get this power was by seizing a throne.

It is highly probable that, following royal custom, his father's realm is divided among his make heirs; if there are fewer than 13 subdivisions suitable for rule, then Hans is out of luck in his own realm.

Don't forget that raw ambition and logical thought don't necessarily go hand-in-hand.
