Geschichte der deutschen Länder,1964-1971: v. 1, p. 363 (Fürstentum Wolfenbüttel) LC manual auth. cd. (hdg.: Wolfenbüttel (Principality); while the genealogical line Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel died out in 1634, the principality (Fürstentum) Wolfenbüttel continued until the end of the Holy Roman Empire (1806); the duchy (Herzogtum) Braunschweig-Lüneburg, created in 1235, had at most a theoretical existence in 16th and 17th cent.; note Sante, v. 1, p. 362, 368) Brockhaus Enzyklöp., 1974 (Wolfenbüttel, 3: Fürstentum) Saillot, J. Chronologie universelle des souverains et chefs d'Etat, 1961: p. 88-89 (Brunswick, former duchy of Lower Saxony; formed as a countship in 955, became duchy 1235; in 1404 was divided, the chief parts being Wolfenbüttel and Brunswick-Lunebourg; Wolfenbüttel was ruled 1404-1634 by house of Liguria, 1634-1735 by house of Lüneburg, 1735-1885 by house of Bevern (except 1807-1813 when it was in Napoleonic Kingdom of Westphalia), 1885-1918 regency, 1918 incorporated into republic of Saxony; Brunswick-Lunebourg, on the other hand, was ruled by house of Liguria (but different members from the Ligurian rulers of Wolfenbïttel) from 1404 to 1648, when it passed to Brunswick-Calenberg and Brunswick-Zelle) [Saillot, like all lists of dynasties and rulers, is inaccurate or misleading regarding this complex situation; as an aid to determining entry of publications, read as necessary in Sante, cited above])
