Notes about Friedrich i van Hessen - Homburg

Frederick I of Hesse-Homburg (born: 5 March 1585 at Lichtenberg Castle in Fischbachtal; died: 9 May 1638 in Bad Homburg), was the first Landgrave of Hesse-Homburg and founder of the eponymous family line.

Frederick was the youngest son of Count George I of Hesse-Darmstadt (1547–1596) from his first marriage to Magdalene (1552–1587), daughter of Count VIII Bernhard of Lippe.

Frederick did not have any rights to inherit, because in Hesse-Darmstadt primogeniture had been introduced properly. Nevertheless, Frederick received in 1622 an apanage consisting of the City and district of Homburg, as well as a one-off payment plus an annual sum. He was not considered a sovereign prince, but fell under the sovereignty of Hesse-Darmstadt. In 1626, he introduced primogeniture in Hesse-Homburg.

One of his sons was Frederick II of Hesse-Homburg, better known as The Prince of Homburg.
