Philip II of Daun-Falkenstein

Philip II of Daun-Falkenstein (* around 1514; † spring 1554 ) was a German nobleman. He came from the " Daun-Falkenstein " line of the Daun family and, by descent and inheritance, was Herr von Oberstein , Broich and Haus Bürgel .

Life

Philipp was born around 1514 as the son of Count Wirich V. von Daun-Falkenstein and Countess Irmgard von  Sayn . At a young age he received a canonical donation at Cologne Cathedral on April 26, 1522 . Later he was ordained a subdeacon .

In the spring of 1546, his benefice at the cathedral monastery was resigned because he was a fellow campaigner of the Protestant Archbishop Hermann von Wied .

With his father's inheritance contract dated May 8, 1546 and his death at the end of the year, Philipp became the heir of Broich, Bürgel and Oberstein. At the beginning of his rule he introduced the Reformation in Broich , and Oberstein followed in 1548.

The Werden abbot Hermann von Holten enfeoffed Philipp on March 21, 1548 with the fishing on the lower Ruhr , on August 28th he enfeoffed with the rule Broich and the Gut Biege in the office of Angermund by Duke Wilhelm von Jülich-Kleve-Berg and finally on April 21, 1550 with Haus Bürgel by Archbishop Adolf of Cologne .

Philipp, who had lived with the nun Maria Caspara von Holtey since 1539 and had two children with her, needed a dispensation from Rome in order to be able to marry and have the children legitimized . In the spring of 1550 he was by a negotiator with the newly elected Pope Julius III. therefore present. The dispensation was approved on May 20th. The reasons given by Philip that he had entered the clergy against his will and made the vows of chastity and celibacy had to be examined by an official of the diocese of Münster , which dragged on until November 15, 1551.

On January 28, 1552 a new treaty was drawn up. Accordingly, after Philip's death, his brothers should inherit the dominions, Maria Caspara should have Haus Bürgel as Wittum , and the two children should become spiritual.

Perhaps encouraged by the new political conditions of the year and the Passauer agreement , Philip remembered better of it and settled on 28 September by the Lutheran -minded Kettwiger pastor Johann Kremer in the Broicher Castle dare chapel. Apart from her two children, there were no relatives.

Apparently at Falkenstein Castle, Philipp drew up a new contract on January 5th to reconcile himself with his brothers. In this document it was stated that Sebastian should definitely get the rule Oberstein with lock and all accessories. A little later Philipp died. He was buried in the Petrikirche in Mülheim .
