In 1530 the city accepted the Ref- oniiatioii. and the nuijorit- of the people liave since been Lutherans. In 1802 I'lni was at- tached to Bavaria, and became part of Wiirt- teniberg in 1810.

TJL'PIAN (DoMiTius Ulpianus). A dis- tinguisl'.cd Roman jurist, a citizen of Tyre, who lived in the latter part of the second and the first part of the third century. Under .Septimius Severus (a.d. 103-211) he became assessor in the auditorium qiPapinian (q.v.), i.e. he was an as- sociate justijt when Papinian was pnrtorian prefect or Chief Justice of the Empire. Under Caraealla, who put Papinian to death, Ulpian retained his position ; but Elagabalus stripped him of his dignities and exiled him from Rome. On the accession (a.d. 222) of the youthful Alex- ander Severus, to whose mother he was related, Ulpian was recalled, appointed guardian of the Emperor and pra-torian prefect, and became the virtual Regent of the Empire. He was slain in B.C. 228 in a rising of the Prfetorian Guard. Ulpian was one of the most prolific of the Roman legal writers. Besides voluminous com- mentaries on the civil law and on the praetorian edict. he published collections of cases ( 'opinions.' 'responses,' etc. ), books of 'rules' and 'institutions,' treatises on the powers and duties of different magistrates, and many mono- graphs. On account of the lucidity of his style, Justinian's compilers drew more largely upon his writings than upon those of any other jurist. Excerpts from his works con.stitute one-third of the Digest. Outside of Justinian's Digest, only one of Ulpian's Ijooks lias been even jiartially preserved, viz. his monograph on rules {Liber tiiitgtilaris Regularum), which appears to have been a hand-book for practitioners. It is fre- quently printed with the Institutes of Gaius. as in Muirhead's edition (Edinburgh. 1880), and in that of .bdy and Walker (3d ed.. Cambridge, Eng.. 1883). See' Civil Law ; .Jubiscon.sult. ULRICH, oiil'rik (1487-1.5.50). Duke of Wiirttemberg, He was the son of Count Henry IV., and at the age of eleven succeeded to the dukedom, assuming personal power in 1503. He added to the territory of Wiirttemberg. but so impoverished the peasanti'y that in 1514 they rose in revolt. This he quelled only after many important concessions. By the murder of Hans von Hutten. brother of Ulrich von Hutten, he aroused the enmit,y of the dukes of Bavaria and the nobility. He was placed under the ban of the Empire, and was driven from the country by the Swabian League in 1510. and his possessions were sold by the League to Charles V.. who transferred them afterAvards to his brother Ferdinand. Ulrich went over to the Protestants, and with the aid of Philip of Hesse won back his dukedom, at the head of an arm.v of 20.000 men (1534). but only as a fief of Austria. He then carried on the work of the Reformation, joined the Schmalkaldic League, and fought against Charles V. in 154(1. He bought a precarious peace from the Emperor at great cost, and died in 1550 just as he was again threatened with deposition. Con.sult Kugh'r, Vhich, llerzog zu Wtiiilniibei-g (Stuttgart, l8t>5).
