WÜRTTEMBERG. 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.
Ulrich was born in 1413, the youngest child of Count Eberhard IV and his wife Henriette, Countess of Mömpelgard.
