Ulrich III, Count of Württemberg

Ulrich III (1286/1291–1344) was Count of Württemberg from 1325 until his death. He steered the county through the rivalry between King Frederick the Fair and Emperor Louis IV, binding Württemberg closely to the Empire.

Through pacts and purchases he enlarged his lands, notably acquiring Tübingen in 1342. He married Sophie of Pfirt and died in Alsace in 1344, leaving two sons, Eberhard II and Ulrich IV, who succeeded him.
