Philippe von Gundelsheim (1487–1553) was the Prince-Bishop of Basel from 1527 to 1553.
[1] On 28 February 1527 the cathedral chapter of Basel Münster, meeting at Delémont, elected him to be the new Prince-Bishop of Basel, with Pope Clement VII confirming his appointment on 31 August 1527.
[2] In 1529, the city of Basel became Protestant under the leadership of Johannes Oecolampadius.
[1] In 1530, Laufental rebelled against the bishop, but were suppressed using forces from Solothurn.
[1] Because of insolvency, the prince-bishopric grew increasingly dependent on the city of Basel, with the city granting him a mortgage on Birseck Castle in 1542, 1544, and 1545.
