Prince William II of Nassau-Dillenburg (28 August 1670 – 21 September 1724 in Dillenburg) was the ruling Prince of Nassau-Dillenburg from 1701 until his death. His parents were Prince Henry (1641–1701) and his wife Princess Dorothea Elisabeth of Legnica-Brzeg (1646–1691). == Life == Around 1694 he made his grand tour which took him through Germany, the Netherlands, England, Denmark, Sweden and Italy. After his father's death in 1701 he inherited Nassau-Dillenburg. In 1711, Francis Alexander died, and William II inherited a share of Nassau-Hadamar. Negotiations dragged on until 1717; in the end William II received Mengerskirchen, Lahr in the Westerwald, and Frickhofen. In 1709, he became a knight in the Order of Saint Hubert, which had been revived by Elector Palatine John William in September 1708.〔 Leopold Zedlitz-Neukirch, ''Neues preussisches Adels-Lexicon'', p.85 (Online ) 〕 William II died in 1724 and was buried in the Evangelical City Church in Dillenburg. As he had no male heir, his principality was inherited by his brother Christian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William II, Prince of Nassau-Dillenburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
