Philip
Philip, 17th-century etching.
Philip, the Landgrave of Hesse, submitted himself to the mercy of Emperor Charles V in June 1547.1
This submission occurred following the collapse of the Schmalkaldic League and the emperor's victory at the Battle of Mühlberg earlier that year. Despite Philip's attempt to reach a settlement, he was deceived by the emperor and subsequently held as a prisoner for several years.12
