NEW ESTATES IN THE FRENCH TERRITORY
After the death of Stephan von Mömpelgard in November 1397, Count Eberhard III von Württemberg was able to make an advantageous match between his still underage son, who would later become Count Eberhard IV, and the likewise underage Henriette von Mömpelgard. She was the rightful heir and granddaughter of Stephan von Mömpelgard. When the two married in 1407, the Countship of Mömpelgard became part of Württemberg, remaining the “Countship of Württemberg-Mömpelgard” until 1796.
