Maria of Hanau-Münzenberg
Deceased Person
1562 – 1605
Who was Maria of Hanau-Münzenberg?
Maria of Hanau-Münzenberg was the youngest daughter of Count Philip III and Countess Palatine Helena of Simmern. She was born after her father's death and remained unmarried.
As with many female members of aristocratic families of the period who did not belong to important royal houses, the research into her life shows many gaps. We have a very incomplete picture of her life; in fact we only know a few unusual facts, such as that she remained unmarried. This was unintended; her mother's relatives tried to arrange a marriage into the House of Wittelsbach for her in 1573.
