----Reinhard von Hanau, was born about 1370, the second son of Ulrich IV, Herr von Hanau (Lord of Hanau) and his wife, Elisabeth von Wertheim.
Hanau unlike most German noble families, adopted the rule of primogeniture, where all lands were inherited by the eldest son, rather than having lands divided between all the sons. Younger sons in the family remained unmarried and most entered the church.[of the 5 younger sons, of Ulrich II, 4 entered the church, and one became a Knight of the Teutonic Order, none married, Suchier, p. 9] This seemed to be ratified under the Primogeniturstatut of 9 June 1343[Suchier, p. 9] which may have been restated in 1375.[Wikipedia.de]
Reinhard then was probably intended for the church, and was a student at the University of Bologna in 1387[Suchier, p. 12; Wikipedia.de]and possibly at the University of Heidelberg in 1390.[Wikipedia.de - though this might also have been his younger brother Johann] However in 1391 an ecclesiastical career was abandoned and Reinhard made a contract with his elder brother Ulrich V, where Reinhard would receive 400 florins a year and an interest in the towns of Partenstein, Rieneck, Bieber and Haßlau. If Ulrich V, still didn't have any sons, by 1401 then Reinhard would be allowed to marry.[Wikipedia.de]
