See also:BERLICHINGEN, See also:GOETZ or GOTTFRIED VON (1480–1562), See also:German See also:knight, was See also:born at the See also:castle of Jagsthausen now in See also:Wurttemberg. In 1497 he entered the service of See also:Frederick IV., See also:margrave of See also:Brandenburg-See also:Ansbach, and in 1498 fought for the See also:emperor See also:Maximilian I. in See also:Burgundy, See also:Lorraine and See also:Brabant, and next See also:year in See also:Switzerland. About 1500 he raised a See also:company of freelances, and at their See also:head took See also:part in various private See also:wars. In 1505, whilst assisting See also:Albert IV., See also:duke of See also:Bavaria, at the See also:siege of See also:Landshut, his right See also:hand was shot away, and an See also:iron one was substituted which is still shown at Jagsthausen. In spite of this " Goetz with the iron hand " continued his feuds, their See also:motive being mainly See also:booty and See also:ransom. In 1512 an attack near See also:Forchheim on some merchants returning from the See also:great See also:fair at See also:Leipzig, caused him to be put under the See also:ban of the See also:empire by Maximilian, and he was only released from this in 1514 upon a promise to pay 14,000 gulden. In 1516 he made a See also:raid into See also:Hesse and captured See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)
- PHILIP, JOHN (1775-1851)
- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip IV., See also:count of Waldeck, whom he compelled to pay a ransom of 8400 See also:gold gulden, and in 1518 was again placed under the ban. He fought for See also:Ulrich I., duke of Wurttemberg, when he was attacked by the Swabian See also:League in 1519, and after a spirited resistance was compelled, through want of See also:ammunition and provisions, to surrender the See also:town of Mockmuhl. In violation of the terms of the See also:capitulation he was held prisoner, and handed over to the citizens of See also:Heilbronn, but owing to the efforts of See also:Sickingen and Georg von See also:Frundsberg was released in 1522, upon paying 2000 gulden, and See also:- SWEARING (O. Eng. swerian, to swear, originally to speak aloud, cf. andswerian, to answer, Ger. schworen, Dan. svaerge, &c., all from root sorer-, to make a sound, cf. " swarm," properly the buzzing of bees, Lat. susurrus)
swearing not to take vengeance on the League. When the Peasants' See also:War See also:broke out in 1525 Goetz was compelled by the rebels of the See also:Odenwald See also:district to See also:act as their See also:leader. He accepted the position, according to his own See also:account, partly because he had no choice, partly in the See also:hope of curbing the excesses of the insurgents; but, finding himself in this respect powerless, after a See also:month of nominal leadership, he took the first opportunity of escaping to his castle. For his part in the See also:rebellion he was called to account before the See also:diet of Speier, and on the 17th of See also:October 1526 was acquitted by the imperial chamber. In spite of this the Swabian League seized the opportunity of paying off old scores against him. Lured to See also:Augsburg, under promise of safe conduct, to clear himself of the charges made against him on behalf of the League, he was there treacherously seized on the 28th of See also:November 1528, and kept a See also:close prisoner for two years. In 1530 he was liberated on repeating his See also:oath of 1522, and undertaking not to leave the neighbourhood of his castle of Hornberg on the See also:Neckar. He appears to have remained there quietly until 1540 when the emperor See also:Charles V. released him from his oath. In 1542 he fought against the See also:Turks in See also:Hungary, and in 1544 accompanied Charles when he invaded See also:France. He returned to Hornberg, where he passed his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time until his See also:death on the 23rd of See also:July 1562. He was twice married and See also:left three daughters and seven
sons. The See also:counts von Berlichingen-Rossach, of Helmstadt near See also:Heidelberg, one of the two surviving branches of the See also:family, are his descendants. The other See also:branch, that of the Freiherrn von Berlichingen-Jagsthausen, is descended from Goetz's See also:brother Hans. Goetz von Berlichingen " is the See also:title of See also:Goethe's See also:play, which, published in 1773, marked an See also:epoch in the See also:history of German See also:drama (see GoETHE).

Goetz's Autobiography, valuable as a See also:record of his times, was first published by Pistorius at See also:Nuremberg (1731), and again at See also:Halle (1886).
