Moritz of Limburg

Moritz of Limburg Stirum (1633–1664) was the son of Hermann Otto I of Limburg-Styrum.

He was count of Limburg and Bronkhorst, Lord zu Styrum, Wisch, Borculo and Gemen. He became hereditary banneret of the Principality of Guelders and of the County of Zütphen. When the House of Limburg-Stirum was partitioned in 1642 in three parts, he inherited the part Styrum and became the first member of the branch Limburg-Styrum-Styrum.

He married his cousin Maria Bernhardine, daughter of Bernhard Albrecht of Limburg and Bronckhorst and they had issue:

• Anna Bernhardine (1659-1701), who married in 1690 count Philipp Wilhelm von Hoensbroech;
• Moritz Hermann, count of Limburg Stirum (1664–1703).
