Luxembourg
Luxembourg was a county of the Holy Roman Empire in the Ardennes. In 1337 its count John, also king of Bohemia, ruled from Prague after losing his sight on a Lithuanian crusade in 1336.
John fell fighting for France at Crécy in 1346, and Charles IV raised Luxembourg to a duchy in 1353. After the male line ended with Sigismund in 1437, Philip the Good of Burgundy acquired the duchy in 1443. It passed to the Habsburgs through Mary of Burgundy's marriage to Maximilian in 1477.
