Prince Henry of Nassau-Dillenburg was a Prince of Nassau-Dillenburg from 1662 until his death.
Background
He was the son of George Louis, Prince of Nassau-Dillenburg (1618–1656) and his wife, Anna Augusta (17 December 1612 – 9 June 1673), a daughter of Duke Henry Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. When his grandfather, Louis Henry, Prince of Nassau-Dillenburg, died in 1662, he inherited the county, because his father had already died.
Education
He studied at Herborn Academy, which could enjoy an upswing during his rule, and in France.
Career
After completing his studies, he served in the Dutch army, where he reached the rank of commander. His reign is regarded as competent but unspectacular. He tried unsuccessfully to claim the inheritance of his father-in-law, George III of Brieg.
