1583 CE
Landgrave Philip II of Hesse-Rheinfels had married Anna Elisabeth of Palatinate-Simmern in 1569, thereby becoming the son-in-law to the Elector Frederick III, one of the leaders of Calvinism.
His territory is absorbed by his elder brother Wilhelm IV, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel, after Philip dies childless on November 30, 1583.
He is buried in St. Goar, where Wilhelm erects an imposing Renaissance monument.
