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).

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 the marriage Hohenlohe was supposed to take control of an important share of the inheritance of William of Orange.

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.
