During the Regency of Wilhelm, Baden suffered from a terrible witch-hunt. Between 1626 and 1631, some 244 people, mostly women, were charged and 231 were condemned and burned in the Baden-Baden witch trials.[1]
In 1631, Wilhelm lost Baden to the Swedish General Gustav Horn and regained control only after the Peace of Prague (1635) and the Peace of Westphalia on 24 October 1648. During this fighting, Wilhelm was taken prisoner, but not recognized and released as an ordinary soldier.
Second marriage: Wilhelm I married in 1650 Countess Maria Magdalena of Oettingen-Baldern (1619–31 August 1688), daughter of Count Ernst of Oettingen-Baldern.
Philipp Franz Wilhelm (1652–1655)
Maria Anna Wilhelmine (1655–1701), married Ferdinand August, Prince of Lobkowicz
