LEYEN

The principality of Leyen was one of the few that survived the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803 and the Treaty of the Confederation of the Rhine of 1806, in which most smaller German states were immediatised as part of larger states. This due to its support of Napoleon. Which also meant the loss of sovereignty in 1814 after Napoleon was defeated.
The ruling family descended from Engelbertus de Guntreve (Gondorf), who was mentioned in 1158. The surname changed to Leyen around 1300. Hugo Ernst v. der Leyen (+ 1665) was created a Reichsfreiherr on 20-9-1653 and his son Johann Carl Freiherr v. der Leyen (1655-1739) a Reichsgraf on 22-11-1711. He also acquired Hohengeroldseck. His great grandson Philipp Graf v. der Leyen und zu Hohengeroldseck (1766-1829) took the title Fürst on 12-7-1806 and managed as a staunch supporter of Napoleon to keep his lands sovereign until 1814, when they became part of Austria (and in 1819 of the Grandduchy of Baden). The family died out in the male line in 1971, but the 5.Fürst had adopted his grandson Philipp Freiherr v. Freyberg-Eisenberg on 15-3-1969.
The family Freyberg descends from Thoman of Freyberg who married around 1030 Margarete of Gundelfingen.
