County of Nassau-Weilburg
Walram's son Adolf became King of Germany in 1292. His son Count Gerlach abdicated in 1344 and the County was divided under his sons in 1355:
- County of Nassau-Weilburg, again divided from 1442 to 1574:
- County of Nassau-Saarbrücken (Elder)
- County of Nassau-Weilburg;
- County of Nassau-Wiesbaden, again divided from 1480 to 1509:
- County of Nassau-Idstein
- County of Nassau-Wiesbaden
fell back to Nassau-Weilburg in 1605
- County of Nassau-Sonnenberg, partitioned among Nassau-Wiesbaden und Nassau-Weilburg in 1405.
In 1605, all parts of Nassau-Weilburg were again unified under Count Louis II, however after his death in 1627 his sons divided the county again:
- County of Nassau-Idstein, fell to Nassau-Ottweiler in 1721
- County of Nassau-Saarbrücken (Younger), divided again in 1640:
- County of Nassau-Saarbrücken, fell to Nassau-Ottweiler in 1723
- County of Nassau-Ottweiler, fell to Nassau-Usingen in 1728
- County of Nassau-Usingen, Principality in 1688.
- County of Nassau-Weilburg (Younger)
After Nassau-Usingen had inherited Nassau-Ottweiler with former Nassau-Idstein and Nassau-Saarbrücken, it was reunified with Nassau-Weilburg and raised to the Duchy of Nassau in 1806.
