Waldgrave
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "about". Template:Refimprove
The first Waldgraves or Wildgraves (Latin: comites silvestres) descended from a division of the House of the Counts of Nahegau in the year 1113.
When the Script error: No such module "Lang". (a countship named after the river Nahe) split into two parts in 1113, the counts of the two parts, belonging to the House of Salm, called themselves Wildgraves and Raugraves, respectively. They were named after the geographic properties of their territories: Wildgrave (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) after Script error: No such module "Lang". ("forest"), and Raugrave (Template:Langx; Template:Langx) after the rough (i.e. mountainous) terrain.[1]
