Ulrich, a turbulent individual, never ceased in his attempts to recover his lands. A Protestant convert, Ulrich secured (1534) the help of Philip of Hesse, a leading defender of the Reformation, and, through Philip, of Francis I of France; at the same time the peasants of Württemberg were rising against the unpopular government of King (later Emperor) Ferdinand I. At the battle of Lauffen (1534), Ulrich and Philip routed Ferdinand's troops. Ferdinand was obliged to restore Württemberg to Ulrich, although nominally Ulrich was to hold the duchy as a fief from Austria. Immediacy under the empire was restored only in 1599.

With Ulrich's return, Lutheranism was introduced. However, large parts of S Württemberg remained in the hands of the house of Hapsburg and of a number of powerful abbeys; these territories were incorporated into Württemberg only later. As a result, a large minority of the present population is Roman Catholic.

Württemberg was repeatedly the scene of fighting in the wars of the 17th and 18th cent. Duke Frederick II (1754–1816), through his alliance with Napoleon I, obtained the rank of elector in 1803 and became king of Württemberg as Frederick I in 1806, after joining the Confederation of the Rhine. Between 1802 and 1810 the territories of Württemberg were more than doubled and reached their final frontiers after an alliance with France under Napoleon. Frederick retained both his royal title and his lands at the Congress of Vienna, after having passed (1813) from the French to the Allied camp.

Württemberg

a historical region in southwestern Germany. Württemberg was a county from the middle of the 13th century and gradually absorbed the territories of the former Duchy of Swabia. In 1495 Württemberg became a duchy (with its capital at Stuttgart). The reign of Ulrich of Württemberg (who ruled 1498-1519 and again 1534-50) saw the Armer Konrad Uprising (1514) and the implementation of the Reformation. Württemberg was one of the main focuses of the Peasants’ War of 1524-26. During the period of the Napoleonic Wars, Württemberg—an ally of Napoleon I—became a kingdom (1805), joined the Rhenish Confederation (1806), and considerably expanded its own territory. In the period of the struggle for the unification of Germany, Württemberg sided with Austria; in 1871 it was included within the German Empire with the rights of a kingdom. During the course of the November Revolution of 1918 the Württemberg monarchy was overthrown. During the years 1919-33, Württemberg was a Land within the Weimar Republic. In 1945 it was divided between the French and American zones of occupied Germany. Since 1949 it has been part of the Federal Republic of Germany (since December 1951 as a part of the Land of Baden-Württemberg).
