Born: March 2, 1481 in Ebernburg
Died: May 7, 1523. Landstuhl. German imperial knight. One of the leaders of the Knights' War of 1522-23, and considered to be the equal of the other leader, U. Hutten. While Hutten was the theoretical leader of the Knights' War, he was said to have been the military and political leader. In 1517, he served Emperor Maximilian I, and in 1522, sympathizing with M. Luther's Reformation, he became the leader of an alliance of minor nobles from the Rhine, Franconia, and Swabia regions. In September of the same year, he attacked the Archbishopric of Triel, starting the Knights' War, but was surrounded by the armies of various princes and died in his castle at Landstuhl.
