EBERHARD , Surnamed Ii See also:BART (Barbatus), See also:count and afterwards See also:duke of See also:Wurttemberg (1445-1496), was the second son of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis I., count of Wurttemberg-Urach (d. 1450), and succeeded his See also:elder See also:brother Louis II. in 1457. His See also:uncle See also:Ulrich V., count of Wurttemberg-See also:Stuttgart (d. 148o), acted as his See also:guardian, but in 1459, assisted by See also:Frederick I., elector See also:palatine, he threw off this See also:restraint, and undertook the See also:government of the See also:district of Urach as Count Eberhard V. He neglected his duties as a ruler and lived a reckless See also:life until 1468, when he made a See also:pilgrim-See also:age to See also:Jerusalem. He visited See also:Italy, became acquainted with some famous scholars, and in 1474 married See also:Barbara di See also:Gonzaga, daughter of Lodovico III., See also:marquis of See also:Mantua, a See also:lady distinguished for her intellectual qualities. In 1482 he brought about the treaty of Munsingen with his See also:cousin Eberhard VI., count of Wurttemberg-Stuttgart. By this treaty the districts of Urach and Stuttgart into which Wurttemberg had been divided in 1437 were again See also:united, and for the future the See also:county was declared indivisible, and the right of See also:primogeniture established. The treaty led to some disturbances, but in 1492 the See also:sanction of the nobles was secured for its provisions. In return for this Eberhard agreed to some limitations on the See also:power of the count, and so in a sense founded the constitution of Wurttemberg. At the See also:diet of See also:Worms in 1495 the See also:emperor See also:Maximilian I. guaranteed the treaty, confirmed the possessions and prerogatives of the See also:house of Wurttemberg, and raised Eberhard to the See also:rank of duke. Eberhard, although a See also:lover of See also:peace, was one of the founders of the Swabian See also:League in 1488, and assisted to See also:release Maximilian, then See also:- KING

He won the esteem of the emperors Frederick III. and Maximilian I. on See also:account of his See also:wisdom and fidelity, and his See also:people held him in high regard.
