Counter point to the above:

Jurgen Windcaller was a coward, betrayed Skyrim, and brought on the destruction of the now ancient traditions of the Nords. He was a servant of the gods and he turned his back on them by misunderstanding his sacrifice.

Evidence:

Shor Son of Shor. In this story, the Nordic story of creation, Shor spat out his heart, sacrificing himself to the land to give it life. The thing Jurgen cared about the most, was his people, his army. When he lost this, instead of understanding his sacrifice, he dispaired. What is worse, is that he sided with a FUCKING DRAGON. The enemy. Shor and his army fights Ald, the Dragon-King of Mer. We know him better as Auri-El. He sides with the enemy, those who enslaved his people. Why? Because he felt like the gods were punishing him. In truth, he was being blessed and he spat in the face of Shor and his ancestors.
