House of Nassau-Siegen

House of Nassau-Siegen

The House of Nassau-Siegen was a collateral line of the House of Nassau, ruled in Siegen. The first Count of Nassau in Siegen was Count Henry of Nassau-Siegen (d. 1343), the elder son of Count Otto I of Nassau. His son Count Otto II of Nassau ruled also in Dillenburg.

In 1606 the House was separated from the House of Nassau-Dillenburg. After the main line of the House became extinct in 1734, Emperor Charles VI transferred the country to the House of Orange-Nassau.
