Philip of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein

Philip of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein (17 February 1550 – 6 March 1606), Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, was an army commander in service of the Dutch Republic.

Philip was born into an old House of Hohenlohe, as the son of Count Ludwig Kasimir von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg (1517–1568) and his wife, Countess Anna zu Solms-Lich (1522–1594).

Because of his experience he remained lieutenant-general on the request of the States of Holland after William of Orange was assassinated in 1584.

The bad relations also had a private cause: In 1582 Hohenlohe had asked William of Orange for permission to marry his eldest daughter, Maria of Nassau.

After his death his body was taken to Öhringen (Baden-Württemberg) by his wife, and he was interred in the family-tomb in the collegiate church of St. Peter and St. Paul on 5 November 1606.

She was the orphaned daughter of Wirich VI, Count of Daun-Falkenstein, and his third wife, Countess Anna Margaretha of Manderscheid-Gerolstein (1575–1606), who died just two days before Philip.
