Ulrich von Württemberg (1487–1550) is undoubtedly one of the most prominent, but also most controversial figures in Württemberg's history. His fate is closely tied to that of his duchy, which he temporarily lost. He brought the Reformation to Württemberg and dissolved the Hirsau Monastery. He trusted no one around him.
During 1534 to 1537 Duke Ulrich introduced the Protestant Reformation, and the country became Protestant. Duke Ulrich became head of the local Protestant Church. In the 18th Century, the Protestant male line became extinct, the head of the house was succeeded by Duke Charles Alexander , a Roman Catholic .
Ulrich, Duke of Württemberg ( Herzog von Württemberg ), 1498-1519 and 1534-1550, was b. 8 February 1487 and given the name Eitel Heinrich (his name was changed to Ulrich in 1493). He was the son of Heinrich of Württemberg, Count of Württemberg-Mömpelgard (d. 1519) and Elisabeth von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (d. 1487), who died shortly after his birth.
The Duchy of Württemberg ( German: Herzogtum Württemberg) was a duchy located in the south-western part of the Holy Roman Empire. It was a state of the Holy Roman Empire from 1495 to 1806. The dukedom's long survival for over three centuries was mainly due to its size, being larger than its immediate neighbors.
