Mindelheim (state)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mindelheim was a minor state of Unterallgäu in Bavaria, Germany. It was part of the territory of Rechberg until 1467 when it was made a Lordship for the House of Frundsberg. It was raised to a Barony in 1569, was annexed by Maxelrain in 1586, annexed by Leuchtenberg in 1618, and created a Principality for John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough in 1705 for his service in the War of the Spanish Succession. He resigned the title in 1714, and Mindelheim was brought into the Bavarian domain.
