Henneberg
Henneberg was a Franconian princely county between the Thuringian Forest and the Main. In 1337 Count Berthold VII the Wise ruled its leading Schleusingen branch.
Berthold's daughter married a Hohenzollern burgrave of Nuremberg, and their descendants became electors of Brandenburg. The Henneberg male line ended in 1583 and its lands passed to the Wettin electors of Saxony. In 1660 the Wettins divided territories including Meiningen and Schleusingen among their Ernestine duchies.
