Kraft von Hanau (* between 1315 and 1320; † December 3, 1382 ) was an extensively sponsored cleric in Franconia and on the Middle Rhine .

family

Kraft von Hanau was the third son of Ulrich II of Hanau (* approx. 1280/1288; † 1346) and Agnes von Hohenlohe (* before 1295; † November 29, 1346), daughter of Kraft I. von Hohenlohe . His year of birth is unknown. Based on the date of his parents' marriage, 1310, and the oldest seal he received from 1339, a year of birth between 1315 and 1320 can be assumed.

Because of the primogeniture practiced in the family , only his eldest brother, Ulrich III, followed. (* 1310; † 1369/70), the father in the government. The other sons therefore had to be cared for in a different manner according to their status, for which a spiritual career was offered.
