The House of Nassau-Weilburg, a branch of the House of Nassau, ruled a division of the County of Nassau, which was a state in what is now Germany, then part of the Holy Roman Empire, from 1344 to 1806.
The sovereigns of this house afterwards governed the Duchy of Nassau until 1866, and since 1890 they have governed the nation of Luxembourg. The House of Nassau-Weilburg became extinct in the male line with the death of Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg in 1985.
The reigning house of Luxembourg retained Nassau-Weilburg as its official name. Since the death of the Grand Duchess, the House of Nassau-Weilburg is a cadet branch (male-line descendants) of the House of Bourbon-Parma.
