Charles Joseph, 1st Prince of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg (12 December 1766 – 6 July 1838) was a German prince.
Hohenlohe was born at Bartenstein in Hohenlohe-Bartenstein on 12 December 1766. He was the second son of Louis Charles, Prince of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein (1731–1799), and Countess Polyxena Benedikta Josepha Philippine Antonia von Limburg-Stirum (1738–1798). Among his siblings was elder brother, Louis Aloysius, who succeeded their father as the 3rd Prince of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein in 1803.[1]
His paternal grandparents were Charles Philip, Prince of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, and Sophie Friederike of Hesse-Homburg. His maternal grandparents were Count Christian Otto von Limburg-Stirum and Caroline von Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst.[1]
Career
In 1798, following his father's death, the territory of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg was partitioned out of the Principality of Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, which was then ruled by his elder brother, Louis Aloysius. His territory was elevated as a separate principality at the same time, and, in 1803, he acquired Haltenbergstetten Castle in Niederstetten as its seat. His reign, however, was short-lived, as upon the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the Imperial State of Hohenlohe-Jagstberg, as well as Hohenlohe-Bartenstein, were both mediatised to the Kingdom of Württemberg.[2]
