Fürstenberg-Fürstenberg
Fürstenberg-Fürstenberg was a territory in Swabia, which was located in present-day southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was ruled by the House of Fürstenberg in the Circle of Swabia during the Holy Roman Empire. History The territory consisted at times of two historical states, which were both named after the state of Fürstenberg and the Fürstenberg Castle. The first state was created in 1408 as a partition of the county of Fürstenberg. After the death in 1441 of its only count, Henry VII, it was partitioned between Fürstenberg-Baar and Fürstenberg-Geisingen. The second state emerged as a county in 1704, as a partition of Fürstenberg-Stühlingen. It was raised to a principality in 1716, then was partitioned between itself and Fürstenberg-Pürglitz in 1762, after the death of Prince Joseph Wilhelm Ernst (1699–1762).

Circle Of Swabia
The Circle of Swabia or Swabian Circle (german: Schwäbischer Reichskreis or ''Schwäbischer Kreis'') was an Imperial Circle of the Holy Roman Empire established in 1500 on the territory of the former German stem-duchy of Swabia. However, it did not include the Habsburg home territories of Swabian Austria, the member states of the Swiss Confederacy nor the lands of the Alsace region west of the Rhine, which belonged to the Upper Rhenish Circle. The Swabian League of 1488, a predecessor organization, disbanded in the course of the Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years War later in the 16th century. Administration The directors of the Swabian Circle were the Bishop of Constance (replaced by the margrave of Baden after the 1803 '' Reichsdeputationshauptschluss'') and the Duke of Württemberg; meetings of the circle's diet were usually held at the Imperial city of Ulm. Though it was shattered into a multitude of mainly very small states, the circle had an effective governme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
