Notes about Otto von SCHAUMBURG IV

Otto IV of Schaumburg (1517 - 21 December 1576) was a German nobleman. He was a ruling Count of Schauenburg and of Holstein-Pinneberg. He was a son of Jobst I and his wife Maria of Nassau, a daughter of Count Johann V of Nassau-Vianden-Dietz.

He adopted the teachings of Martin Luther. However, with respect to his elder brothers Cologne's Archbishop-Electors Adolphus III (reg. 1547-1556) and Anthony I (reg. 1557-1558) he refrained from open confrontation. In 1559 he officially began the Reformation in Schauenburg and Holstein-Pinneberg. These areas remained Lutheran throughout the Counter-Reformation and into modern times.

Otto first married Mary (*1527-1554*), daughter of Duke Barnim XI of Pomerania-Stettin. Mary and Otto had four sons:
Hermann (*1545-1592*), Prince-Bishop of Minden (1566-1581)
Otto (*1545-1572*), (mentally insane)
Adolphus XI (*1547-1601*), count regnant in Schaumburg and Holstein-Pinneberg
Anthony (*1549-1599*), Prince-Bishop of Minden (1587-1599)

In 1558 Otto married a second time, with Elisabeth Ursula (*1539-1586*), a daughter of Ernest I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Elisabeth Ursula and Otto had two daughters and one son:
Mary (*1559-1616*) married in 1591 Count Josse of Limburg-Styrum (*1560-1621*)
Elisabeth, married in 1585 Count Simon VI of Lippe (*1554-1613*)
Ernest (*1569-1622*), count regnant of Schaumburg and Holstein-Pinneberg as of 1601, elevated to Prince of Schaumburg in 1619.
