Waldburg-Waldsee was a County and later Principality within Holy Roman Empire, ruled by the House of Waldburg, located in southeastern Baden-Württemberg, Germany, around Bad Waldsee.
Waldburg-Waldsee was a partition of Waldburg-Wolfegg. When the Wolfegg branch extinguished in 1798, the Waldsee branch inherited Wolfegg. Waldburg-Waldsee was a county prior to 1803, when it was raised to a principality shortly before being mediatised to Württemberg in 1806.Francois Bisset Hawkins, Germany; the Spirit of Her History, Literature, Social Condition and National Economy, p. 53, London: John W. Parker, 1838 {{oclc|315389088}}. The castle of the princes of Waldburg-Waldsee lies in the town of Kißlegg.Gazetteer of the World, vol. 4, p. 564, Edinburgh, London, Dublin: A. Fullerton, 1656 {{oclc|933154131}}.
Rulers of Waldburg-Waldsee
The Waldburg-Waldsee are one of five branches of the Waldburg family, the others being Waldburg-Waldburg, Walsdburg-Zei, Waldburg-Wolfeck, and Waldburg-Wurzach. By 1872, Waldburg, Wolfeck, and Waldsee merged into a single Waldburg-Waldsee branch. Zeil and Wurzach merged into a second branch.Wilhelm Obermüller, Deutsch-Keltisches, geschichtlichgeographisches Wörterbuch, Berlin: Denicke's Verlag Link & Reinke, 1872 {{oclc|36754326}}.
