Remarks
- ↑ The origin seems unclear: On the one hand, Eyer suspects that Littenheim belonged to the Lichtenberg rule as early as 1285 (p. 54, note 22), on the other hand, that it did not come to Lichtenberg until 1337 (p. 65). He gives further - completely different - information on p. 106. According to this, on the occasion of the wedding in 1337, only levies from Littenheim are said to have passed to the Lichtenberg rule.
