v · Prince Philip, Landgrave of Hesse and the head of the House of Brabant and the German House of Hesse. Life Landgrave Moritz was born at Racconigi Castle, in Italy. During the Second World War, Moritz's mother, Princess Mafalda of Savoy, was injured during an Allied bombardment in 1944, and she later died from her injuries. Prince Louis of Hesse and by Rhine, the last head of the Hesse-Darmstadt line, died in 1968, at which time Moritz's father succeeded him as head of the house. He has been the head of the House of Hesse since the death of his father Philip on 25 October 1980. He is also the semi-salic heir of Charlemagne. Louis of Lower Lorraine, the last legitimate agnatic descendant of Charlemagne, had a younger sister Gerberga of Lower Lorraine, and Moritz is the most senior non-morganatic agnatic descendant of her son Lambert II, Count of Leuven.[citation needed] Moritz is a world-famous art collector.[2][3] Marriage and children Moritz married Princess Tatjana of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg.
