A close ally to Frederick Pfalz! When a noblemen revolt burst out in 1618, Johann Georg took part in it as a leader of Silesian troops against the Emperor. On 22nd January 1621 he was put into Reich´s ban together with Frederick Pfalz, Christian of Anhalt and Georg Friedrich of Hohenlohe and his land was confiscated. He died in a field camp in Leutschau and is burried in Kaschau.
