This succession established the St\u00fchlingen branch of the F\u00fcrstenbergs. Two other branches already existed: the Messkirch and Heiligenberg branches, named after their respective residences. The <em>von Pappenheims<\/em> were Protestant; town and region of St\u00fchlingen and the <em>von F\u00fcrstenbergs<\/em> were Catholic. While this fact might appear to be a minor issue from today\u2019s perspective, it was a major bone of contention during the Counter-Reformation. The \u201c<em>von Pappenheim taint<\/em>\u201d would follow the <em>F\u00fcrstenberg-St\u00fchlingen<\/em> branch for several generations at the devoutly Catholic <em>Hapsburg<\/em> court.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Standard\"><em> Maria Maximiliana<\/em> bore her husband two sons: <em>Maximilian Franz<\/em> and <em>Heinrich Friedrich<\/em> (b.
