Brunswick
Brunswick was the southern branch of the Welf Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, centred on Brunswick. Otto the Mild ruled the principality in 1337.
The dukes moved to Wolfenbüttel in 1432 amid disputes with the city. The Welfs finally subdued Brunswick in 1671, and the court returned in 1753. France incorporated the state into Westphalia in 1807, but the Congress of Vienna restored the Duchy of Brunswick in 1815.
