"The State of Hanau-Munzenberg was a relatively small one, and one with little serious influence or power in the swirl of seventeenth-century European politics. It did, however, command a strategic position along one of the empire's key waterways, the Main, and as one of only a handful coreligionists, Amalia Elisabeth's mother, for example, was no less than a daughter of the famous Calvinist Dutch hero Prince William of Orange, by his first wife, Charlotte of Bourbon. Such relationships gave Hanau-Munzenberg prestige beyond its size, and meant that at her birth Amalia Elisabeth was niece to the current Prince of Orange and second cousin to the king of France. In fact, she was first or, at the most, second cousin to members of almost every great house of Europe." (Helfferich. The Iron Princess)

HOHENBERG
"...About this time (c1140), the first major division within the dynasty (i.e., Zollern) occurred. Frederick II's brother Burkhard established a cadet line of Zollern-Hohenberg. At the second Landtag at Konigstuhl (1186), the counts of both Zollern (Hechingen) and Hohenberg were represented. The counts of Hohenberg held lands on either side of the older Zollern domains, and effectively blocked further expansion into the Neckar vallet. Initially, the Hohenberg line showed promise, seizing Rottenburg in 1124. To the south, they extended their domains across the Neckar to Schramberg. By the later Middle Ages, however, the Hohenberg lands had been splintered among several branches, and by the end of the fourteenth century, most of their territories had fallen to the counts of Wurttemberg and Habsburg. The dynasty died out completely in 1486." (Jeep, p. 365)

HOLZAPFEL
"It receives its origin from the immediate Imperial seigniory of Esterau and the vogtey of Isselbach, which were disposed of hereditarily by Prince John Lewis of Nassau-Hadamar, in the year 1643, to the new Count, Peter Holzapfel, together with all its superiorities, for 64,000 rix dollars, and raised the same year by the Emperor to an immediate Imperial county under the name of Holzapfel. Elizabeth Charlotte, only legitimate daughter of the above Count Peter Holzapfel, was married to Prince Adolphus of Nassau-Dillenburg, who annexed to himself the paternal estates, but died in the year 1797, leaving three Princesses behind him, the eldest of whom was married to Prince William Maurice of Nassau-Siegen, the second to Count Frederick Adolphus of Lippe-Detmold, and the third to Prince Lebrecht of Anhalt-Bernburg-Hoym. The posterity of the latter are possessed of the county of Holzapfel, which is allodial. The Prince of Anhalt-Bernburg-Hoym, by virtue of this county, enjoys both seat and voice in the Westphalian college of the Counts of the Empire, between Winnenburg and Blankenheim. It was received into the circle of Westphalia in the year 1643, and takes its place between Winnenburg and Wittem. Its Imperial and circular matricular evaluation is fifteen florins, and in the usual matricula it is rated to each chamber-term at thirteen rixdollars, eighty-six kruitzers and a half...."
