Wied

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wied was a County of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, located on the Wied River where it meets the Rhine. Wied emerged as a County earlier than many other German states. From 1243 - 1462, Wied was united with an Isenburgian County as Isenburg-Wied. Wied was partitioned twice: between itself and Wied-Dierdorf in 1631, and between Wied-Neuwied and Wied-Runkel in 1698.
