Hohenlohe
Hohenlohe was a Franconian lordship of the House of Hohenlohe, with lands around Öhringen between the Kocher and Tauber. In 1337 Louis of Hohenlohe held the lordship.
Uffenheim was sold to the Ansbach Hohenzollerns in 1378, and Frederick III raised Hohenlohe to an imperial county in 1450. After 1551 the family divided into the Lutheran Neuenstein and Waldenburg branches; the latter returned to Catholicism in 1667. Both became princely lines before their territories were mediatized to Bavaria and Württemberg in 1806.
