Philip
Philip, 17th-century etching.
In 1525, Philip, Landgrave of Hesse, suppressed a peasant revolt in the neighbouring imperial abbeys of Fulda and Hersfeld. This action marked one of his early personal triumphs as a ruler. Following this, he advanced into Thuringia to continue his efforts against the widespread unrest of that period.1
