In 1522 and 1523 he assisted to quell the rising of See also:Franz von See also:Sickingen (q.v.), who had raided See also:Hesse five years previously, and in 1525 he took a leading See also:part in crushing the See also:rebellion of the peasants in See also:north See also:Germany, being mainly responsible for their defeat at See also:Frankenhausen

Philip adopted the reformed faith, of which he was after-wards the zealous and daring defender
.
Indifferent to theological, or even to patriotic, considerations, his plans to protect the reformers rested upon two See also:main principles—unity among the Protestants at See also:home and military aid from abroad
.
The schemes he put forward as one of the heads of the See also:league of See also:Schmalkalden, aimed primarily at overthrowing the See also:house of See also:Habsburg; to this end aid was sought from foreigner and native, from See also:Protestant and See also:Catholic alike
.
Envoys were sent repeatedly to See also:France, See also:England and See also:Denmark; See also:Turkey and See also:Venice were looked to for assistance; the See also:jealousy See also:felt towards the Habsburgs by the Bavarian Wittelsbachs was skilfully fomented; and the See also:German Protestants were assured that attack was the best, See also:nay the only, means of See also:defence
.
Before the formation of the league of Schmalkalden Philip was very intimate with See also:Zwingli, and up to the time of the reformer's death, in 1531, he hoped that material aid would be forthcoming from his followers
.
In 1526 he had aided See also:John the See also:Constant, elector of Saxony, to See also:form an See also:alliance of reforming princes; and in 1529 he called together the abortive See also:conference at See also:Mar-See also:burg, hoping thus to See also:close the See also:breach between See also:Lutherans and Zwinglians
.
More aggressive was his See also:action in 1528
.
Deceived by the forgeries of See also:Otto von See also:Pack (q.v.), he believed in the existence of a See also:conspiracy to crush the reformers, and was only restrained from attacking his enemies by the See also:influence of John of Saxony and See also:Luther
.
He succeeded, however, in compelling the See also:archbishop of See also:Mainz and the bishops of Wiirzburg and See also:Bamberg to contribute to the cost of his mobilization
.
Philip was freely accused of having employed Pack to concoct the See also:forgery; and, although this See also:charge is doubtless false, his eager See also:acceptance of Pack's unproved statements aroused considerable See also:ill-feeling among the Catholics, which he was not slow to return
.
In 1529 the landgrave signed the " protest " which was presented to the See also:diet at See also:Spires, being thus one of the See also:original " Protestants; " in 1530 he was among the subscribers to the See also:confession of See also:Augsburg; and the formation of the league of Schmalkalden in the same See also:year was largely due to his See also:energy
.
His next important undertaking, the restoration of See also:Ulrich, duke of Wurtemberg (q.v.) to his duchy, was attended with conspicuous success
.
Wurtemberg had passed into the See also:possession of the Habsburgs, but after Philip's brief and victorious See also:campaign in 1534 the humiliation of See also:Charles V. and his See also:brother, the German See also:- KING

king, See also:Ferdinand I., was so See also:complete that it was
Charles V. at the hands of See also:Maurice in 1552; and after the conclusion of the See also:peace of See also:Passau in this year he returned to Hesse

- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

.
In 1562 he aided the See also:Huguenots with troops, and he was frequently in communication with the insurgents in the See also:Netherlands; but his efforts to form a See also:union of the Protestants were fruitless
.
Philip, who is sometimes called the Magnanimous, died at See also:Cassel on the 31st of See also:March 1567
.
By Christina he had four sons and five daughters, and according to his directions the landgraviate was partitioned at his death between his sons
.
He had also by See also:Margaret von der Saal seven sons, who were called See also:counts of Dietz, and one daughter
