In addition to the County of Montbéliard, Countess Henrietta brought wedding dowries: fiefdoms, such as lordships in <a href="/wiki/Granges-le-Bourg" title="Granges-le-Bourg">Granges-le-Bourg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Clerval,_Doubs" title="Clerval, Doubs">Clerval</a>, <a href="/wiki/Passavant,_Doubs" title="Passavant, Doubs">Passavant</a>, <a href="/wiki/Etobon" class="mw-redirect" title="Etobon">Etobon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Porrentruy" title="Porrentruy">Porrentruy</a>, with the fiefdoms of <a href="/wiki/Saint-Hippolyte,_Doubs" title="Saint-Hippolyte, Doubs">Saint-Hippolyte</a>, and lands of <a href="/wiki/Franquemont" title="Franquemont">Franquemont</a> <a href="/wiki/Goumois,_Doubs" title="Goumois, Doubs">(Goumois)</a>. Some of them were in the <a href="/wiki/County_of_Burgundy" title="County of Burgundy">County of Burgundy</a>, but the countess administered the County of Burgundy by the sovereign right by virtue of the legacy that is of her grandfather Stephen of Montfaucon, and the tribute that she received from the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Burgundy" title="Duchy of Burgundy">Burgundian</a> Duke <a href="/wiki/John_the_Fearless" title="John the Fearless">John the Fearless</a>. By the advent of this marriage, inheritance of the County of Montbéliard and its dependencies added to Württemberg who brought the lordship of <a href="/wiki/Riquewihr" title="Riquewihr">Riquewihr</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ferrette" title="Ferrette">Ferrette</a> and the County of <a href="/wiki/Horbourg-Wihr" title="Horbourg-Wihr">Horbourg</a> in <a href="/wiki/Alsace" title="Alsace">Alsace</a>. </p><p>Eberhard IV died in 1419 and upon Henriette's death in 1444, Montbéliard was adjudicated to their son Count <a href="/wiki/Ludwig_I,_Count_of_W%C3%BCrttemberg-Urach" title="Ludwig I, Count of Württemberg-Urach">Ludwig I of Württemberg-Urach</a>. His son <a href="/wiki/Eberhard_I,_Duke_of_W%C3%BCrttemberg" title="Eberhard I, Duke of Württemberg">Eberhard V</a> annexed Montbéliard as part of the united County of Württemberg, though it still retained its status as an <a href="/wiki/Imperial_immediacy" title="Imperial immediacy">immediate</a> territory and separate county within the County. It was not a vassalage of Württemberg; it was his equal but hereditary committed to the marriage of Count Eberhard IV by Henriette. De facto, the <a href="/wiki/Romance_languages" title="Romance languages">Romance</a> territory would retain "all its rights, traditions and customs, as well as its language" as it was customary in the vast Holy Roman Empire. In 1495 the Count of Montbeliard Eberhard V of Württemberg was raised to the rank of Duke and the county became the "Principality of Montbéliard". </p><p>In spite of vicissitudes, Montbéliard was ruled by junior branches of the House of Württemberg for several centuries. Count <a href="/wiki/Frederick_I,_Duke_of_W%C3%BCrttemberg" title="Frederick I, Duke of Württemberg">Frederick I of Montbéliard</a> again inherited the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_W%C3%BCrttemberg" title="Duchy of Württemberg">Duchy of Württemberg</a> in 1593, but in 1617 the county was again separated for his younger son Ludwig Frederick and ruled by his descendants until it fell back to Württemberg in 1723.
