Silvius II Frederick, Duke of Württemberg-Oels

Silvius Nimrod and his older brother Charles Ferdinand went on a Grand Tour.

As Julius was still a minor, Silvius Frederick acted as his regent until he came of age.

Silvius Frederick married on 7 May 1672 in Oels with Eleonore Charlotte (1656–1743), the daughter of the Duke George II of Württemberg-Montbéliard.

He was a member of the Fruitbearing Society under the nickname der Schützende ("the Protector").

By order of his mother, Oels fell to her next younger son, Christian Ulrich I.
