- Louis II, Landgrave of Hesse
Louis II of Hesse ( _de. Ludwig) (7 September, 1438 – 8 November, 1471), called Louis the Frank, was the Landgrave of Lower Hesse from 1458 - 1471.
He was the son of Louis I, Landgrave of Hesse and Anna of Saxony. He married Mechthild, daughter of Ludwig I, Count of Württemberg-Urach. Their sons were:
* William I, Landgrave of Hesse (1466-1515)
* William II, Landgrave of Hesse (1469-1509)
The Landgraviate of Hesse had been divided by his father Louis I between Louis II and his brother Henry III into Hesse-Kassel (Lower Hesse or Hesse-Cassel) and Hesse-Marburg (Upper Hesse). The brothers fought about the exact demarcation of the realm until May 1470.
