About Albert Wolfgang, Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg
- Albert Wolfgang, Count of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (6 July 1659 in Langenburg – 17 April 1715 in Langenburg) was the oldest child of Count Henry Frederick of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1625–1699) and his second wife Countess Juliana Dorothea of Castell-Remlingen (1640–1706). He was head of the House of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and introduced primogeniture in Langenburg in 1699.
- This meant the oldest son would inherit the entire county, and younger sons would only inherit if the oldest were to die childless.
- From then on, younger sons would mostly embark on military careers, for example, in the imperial army, or in friendly nations.
