Putting him on the same level as Detlinde is quite uncalled for in my opinion. Detlinde is soooooo much worse than Wilfried ever was. Wilfried has time and again shown small glimpses of having at least some decency in him, where Detlinde is utterly iredeemable in my eyes.

Just take the reward ceremony as an example. Despite having been involved in one of the two research projects, albeit in only a small manner, Wilfried refused to go up and take credit in front of the king, for what was primarily Rozemyne's accomplishment.

Detlinde on the other hand, had no issue at all with not just sharing in the praise for Raimund's accomplishments alongside him, but going up there and taking all the credit for herself and leaving Raimund completely out of it, dispite the sum all of her involvement being to chastise Fraularm a single time for getting between Raimund and Ferdinand's communcations and otherwise not even being aware of what exactly he was even doing, until right before the presentations.

Also with Wilfried, it's primarily his retainers that cause the problems, while with Detlinde, it's the retainers that are desperately working to prevent the troubles from happening, but being unable to contain that tornado of terribleness.
