LIPPE-DETMOLD: Simon VII, Count, 1613-1627, AR 1/24 thaler (groschen), 1614, KM-5, a well struck lustrous argent example, PCGS graded AU53, ex Joe Sedillot Collection. Finest graded 'top pop' by PCGS!In 1601, Simon and his older brother Bernard traveled to Kassel, where they studied at the court school. After Bernard's untimely death in 1602, Simon returned to Brake, where his father introduced him systematically to the business of government. When his father died in 1613, he took up government. In 1617, he managed to end a bitter dispute his late father had with the city of Lemgo. Simon VI had tried to enforce Calvinism throughout the county, but the citizens of Lemgo preferred Lutheranism. The Treaty of Röhrentrup allowed Lutheranism in Lemgo and gave the city the right of High justice, which the city then used to organize witch trials.
