(Ist kein Dalberg chi?). This picturesque See also:privilege the family enjoyed till the end of the See also:Holy See also:Roman See also:Empire. The See also:elder line of the family of Dalberg-Dalberg became extinct in 1848, the younger, that of Dalberg-Herrnsheim, in 1833. The male line of the Dalbergs is now represented only by the family of Hessloch, descended from Gerhard of Dalberg (c. 1239), which in 1809 succeeded to the See also:title and estates in See also:Moravia and Bohemia of the extinct See also:counts of Ostein.
The following are the most noteworthy members of the family:
I. JOHANN VON DALBERG (1445-1503), chamberlain and afterwards bishop of Worms, son of Wolfgang von Dalberg. He studied at See also:Erfurt and in See also:Italy, where he took his degree of See also:doctor utriusque See also:juris at See also:Ferrara and devoted himself more especially to the study of See also:Greek. Returning to See also:Germany, he became privy councillor to the elector See also:palatine 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, whom he assisted in bringing the university of See also:Heidelberg to the height of its fame. He was instrumental in See also:founding the first See also:chair of Greek, which was filled by his friend See also:Rudolph See also:Agricola, and he also established the university library and a See also:college for students of See also:civil See also:law. He was an ardent humanist, was See also:president of the Sodalitas Celtica founded by the poet Konrad See also:Celtes (q.v.), and corresponded with many of the leading scholars of his See also:day, to whom he showed himself a veritable See also:Maecenas. He was employed also on various See also:diplomatic See also:missions by the See also:emperor and the elector.

2. KARL THEODOR ANTON MARIA VON DALBERG (1744-1$17), See also:archbishop-elector of See also:Mainz, See also:arch-See also:chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire, and afterwards See also:primate of the See also:Confederation of the Rhine and See also:grand-See also:duke of See also:Frankfort. He was the son of See also:Franz Heinrich, See also:administrator of Worms, one of the See also:chief counsellors of the elector of Mainz. Karl had devoted himself to the study of See also:canon law, and entered the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church; and, having been appointed in 1772 See also:governor of Erfurt, he won further See also:advancement by his successful See also:administration; in 1787 ,he was elected coadjutor of Mainz and of Worms, and in 1788 of See also:Constance; in 1802 he became archbishop-elector of Mainz and arch-chancellor of the Empire. As statesman Dalberg was distinguished by his " patriotic " attitude, whether in ecclesiastical matters, in which he leaned to the Febronian view of a German See also:national church, or in his efforts to galvanize the atrophied machinery of the Empire into some sort of effective central See also:government of Germany. Failing in this, he turned to the rising See also:star of See also:Napoleon, believing that he had found in " the truly great See also:man, the mighty See also:genius which governs the See also:fate of the See also:world," the only force strong enough to See also:save Germany from See also:dissolution. By the See also:peace of See also:Luneville, accordingly, though he had to surrender Worms and Constance, he received See also:Regensburg, See also:Aschaffenburg and See also:Wetzlar. On the dissolution of the Empire in 18o6 he formally resigned the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of arch-chancellor in a See also:letter to the emperor See also:Francis, and was appointed by Napoleon See also:prince primate of the Confederation of the Rhine. In 181o, after the peace of See also:Vienna (Schonbrunn), the grand-duchy of Frankfort was created for his benefit out of his
territories, which, in spite of the cession of Regensburg to See also:Bavaria, were greatly augmented. Dalberg's subservience, as a prince of the Confederation, to Napoleon was specially resented since, as a See also:priest, he had no excuse of See also:necessity on the ground of saving family or dynastic interests; his fortunes therefore See also:fell with those of Napoleon, and, when he died on the loth of See also:February 1817, of all his dignities he was in See also:possession only of the archbishopric of Regensburg. Weak and shortsighted as a statesman, as a man and See also:prelate Dalberg was amiable, conscientious and large-hearted. Himself a See also:scholar and author, he was a notable See also:patron of letters, and was the friend of See also:Goethe, See also:Schiller and See also:Wieland.

3. WOLFGANG HERIBERT VON DALBERG (1750-18o6), See also:brother of the above. He was See also:intendant of the See also:theatre at See also:Mannheim, which he brought to a high See also:state of excellence. His chief claim to remembrance is that it was he who first put Schiller's earlier dramas on the See also:stage, and it is to him that the poet's Briefe an den Freiherrn von Dalberg (See also:Karlsruhe, 1819) are addressed. He himself wrote several plays, including adaptations of See also:Shakespeare. His brother, Johann See also:Friedrich See also:Hugo von Dalberg (1752-1812), canon of See also:Trier, Worms and See also:Spires, had some See also:vogue as a composer and writer on musical subjects.
4. See also:EMMERICH See also:JOSEPH, DUC DE DALBERG (1773-1833), son of See also:Baron Wolfgang Heribert. He was See also:born at Mainz on the 3oth of May 1773. In 1803 he entered the service of See also:Baden, which he represented as See also:envoy in See also:Paris. After the peace of Schonbrunn (1809) he entered the service of Napoleon, who, in 181o, created him a duke and councillor of state. He had from the first been on intimate terms with Talleyrand, and retired from the public service when the latter fell out of the emperor's favour. In 1814 he was a member of the provisional government by whom the Bourbons were recalled, and he attended the See also:congress of Vienna, with Talleyrand, as See also:minister plenipotentiary. He appended his See also:signature to the See also:decree of See also:outlawry launched in 1815 by the See also:European See also:powers against Napoleon. For this his See also:property in See also:France was confiscated, but was given back after the second Restoration, when he became a minister of state and a peer of France. In 1816 he was sent as See also:ambassador to See also:Turin. The latter years of his See also:life he spent on his estates at Herrnsheim, where he died on the 27th of See also:April 1833.
The duc de Dalberg had inherited the family property of Herrnsheim from his See also:uncle the arch-chancellor Karl von Dalberg, and this See also:estate passed, through his daughter and heiress, See also:Marie See also:Louise Pelline de Dalberg, by her See also:marriage with See also:Sir (See also:Ferdinand) See also:Richard See also:Edward See also:Acton, 7th See also:baronet (who assumed the additional name of Dalberg), to her son the historian, See also:John Emerich Edward Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton (q.v.).
