House of Württemberg

History

The House of Württemberg, with roots in the Salian entourage, ruled over Württemberg from the late 12th century until 1918. From 1444 to 1793, the Württembergs also held the Principality of Montbéliard in what is now France. The Zäringens and the Fürstenbergs were traditionally their main rivals for supremacy in Swabia. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the Württemberg rulers, who were close relatives of the Romanovs through Maria Feodorovna, expanded their territories and adopted the royal title (see Kingdom of Württemberg).
