Ronov became the economic center of the eponymous rule. As Erbrichter Ulrich put the locator a Gottfried, who populated the assigned base with Germans.

Johann Wenzel Caretto de Millesimo united the Ronov reign with Třemošnice in 1747 and moved his seat there. The Ronover Castle fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1823.
