'Genealogie de la Maison de Wirtemberg, ses diferentes branches, ses titres et ses alliances'.

Genealogy of the House of Wirttemberg, its different branches, its titles and its alliances.

This beautiful genealogical chart is a wonderful example of Chatelain's elegant engravings. Included in the volume II edition of 1708 of the Atlas Historique, published by Chatelain in Amsterdam. This beautiful print depicts the family tree of the German Wirttemberg, or Württemberg, line. Württemberg was one of the main states on the Baden border. The various territories were subdivided among the branches of the family, but in 1482 Count Eberhard V declared it a unified state. It was elevated to ducal rank in 1495, but was sold to Charles V in 1520. It was continually the scene of warfare in the 17th and 18th centuries and remained one of the most disputed regions in Germany. Their various titles and arms are explained and the different states of the county are also explained. Includes copious biographical notes throughout, and the entire engraving is carefully drawn and artistically conceived.
