| Additional information |
Philip Adolph von Ehrenberg's tenure as Prince-Bishop of Würzburg coincided with the early devastation of the Thirty Years' War and one of the most aggressive witch trial campaigns in German history — he was personally responsible for the execution of over 300 people between 1626 and 1630, including members of his own cathedral chapter. Small silver issues from his reign circulated through a diocese in acute social and economic crisis, with population displacement and military requisitioning undermining what little monetary stability the region retained.
