Mediatized House of Leiningen House of Leiningen The title of Prince of
Leiningen (German: Fürst zu Leiningen) was created by the Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II, who elevated Carl Friedrich Wilhelm,
Count of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hartenburg to the rank of Prince of the Holy Roman Empire (Reichsfürst) on 3 July 1779. The
family is extant, and all male-line descendants of the grantee bear the title of Prince(ss) of Leiningen (Prinz(essin) zu
Leiningen) with the style of Serene Highness. The head of the house is styled the Prince of Leiningen (Fürst zu Leiningen)
(note the difference between the princely titles at the article Fürst). The second prince, Emich
Carl, was the first husband of Queen Victoria's mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, and his children remained
close to their half-sister. The fourth prince, Ernst, pursued a career in the British Royal Navy; his marriage to Princess
Marie of Baden, a descendant of the Electress Sophia of Hanover, meant that their children were in the line of succession
to the British throne, though rather far down the list. The sixth prince, Karl, married Grand Duchess Maria Kirillovna of
Russia, daughter of Princess Victoria Melita who was in turn daughter of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Queen Victoria's
second son. As a result, their descendants today occupy places higher up the British line of succession, in the early hundreds. In 1991, the Hereditary Prince Karl Emich married,
as his second wife, Dr Gabriele Thyssen. As a result, the seventh prince, Emich, disinherited his eldest son. This decision
was upheld by the German courts, and so on Emich's death later that year he was succeeded as head of the family by his second
son Andreas, who is the eighth and present Prince. 
The Princes of Leiningen Leiningen is the name of an old German family whose lands lay principally
in Alsace, Lorraine and the Palatinate. The first count of Leiningen about whom anything certain is known was a certain Emich
II (d. before 1138), whose family became extinct in the male line when Count Frederick, a Minnesinger, died about 1220. Frederick's
sister, Liutgarde, married Simon II, count of Saarbrucken, and Frederick, one of their sons, inheriting the lands of the counts
of Leiningen, took their arms and their name. Having increased its possessions the Leiningen family was divided about 1317
into two branches; the elder of these, whose head was a landgrave, died out in 1467. On this event its lands fell to a female,
the last landgrave's sister Margaret, wife of Reinhard, lord of Westerburg, and their descendants were known as the family
of Leiningen-Westerburg. Later this family was divided into two branches, those of Alt-Leiningen-Westerburg and Neu-Leiningen-Westerburg,
both of which are represented today. Meanwhile the younger branch of the Leiningens, known as the family of Leiningen-Dagsburg, was flourishing, and in
1560 this was divided into the lines of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Hartenburg, founded by Count Johann Philip (d. 1562), and Leiningen-Dagsburg-Heidesheim
or Falkenburg, founded by Count Emicho (d. 1593). In 1779 the head of the former line was raised to the rank of a prince of
the Empire. In 1801 this family was deprived of its lands on the left bank of the Rhine by France, but in 1803 it received
ample compensation for these losses. A few years later its possessions were mediatized, and they are now included mainly in
Baden, but partly in Bavaria and in Hesse. A former head of this family, Prince Emich Charles, married Maria Louisa Victoria, princess of Saxe-Coburg; after
his death in 1814 the princess married Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, a younger son of George III, by
whom she became the mother of Queen Victoria. In 1910 the head of the family was Prince Emich (b. 1866). The family of Leiningen-Dagsburg-Heidesheim
was divided into three branches, the two senior of which became extinct. At present it is represented by the counts of Leiningen-Guntersblum
and Leiningen-Heidesheim, called also Leiningen-Billigheim and Leiningen-Neidenau.
