It was twice created: the first time as aWild- and Rhinegraviate (partitioned fromUpper Salm ), and secondly as a Principality (succeeding the earlier Principality ofSalm-Leuze ). The first state of Salm-Kyrburg was partitioned between itself,Salm-Mörchingen andSalm-Tronecken in 1607, and was inherited bySalm-Neuweiler in 1681 upon the lines' extinction.In
1742 , Salm-Kyrburg was raised to a principality; it shared its vote in the Reichstag withSalm-Salm . Salm-Kyrburg was annexed by France in1798 ; this was recognized by theHoly Roman Empire in theTreaty of Lunéville of1801 . As a compensation, the princes were granted new territories formerly belonging to the Bishops of Münster in1802 , which formed the newly-foundedPrincipality of Salm .The full title used by the Princes of the resurrected state was "Prince of Salm-Kyrburg, Sovereign Prince of
