The County of Württemberg was a historical territory with origins in the realm of the House of Württemberg, the heart of the old Duchy of Swabia. Its capital was Stuttgart. From the 12th century until 1495, it was a county within the Holy Roman Empire. It later became a duchy and, after the breakup of the Holy Roman Empire, a kingdom.
The Treaty of Nürtingen was a treaty in German history, signed on 25 January 1442. It divided the county of Württemberg between count Ludwig I and his brother count Ulrich V. The county had first been divided on 23 April 1441 following Ulrich's marriage to Margarethe von Cleve, with Ulrich receiving the lands west of the Neckar and Ludwig receiving the lands east. This original division was intended to last four years, leaving Stuttgart as a shared city assigned to neither side, but was soon found to be unequal. In the amended permanent division stipulated by the Treaty of Nürtingen in 1442, the Stuttgart half went to Ulrich and included the cities of Cannstatt, Göppingen, Marbach, Neuffen, Nürtingen, Schorndorf and Waiblingen. The Urach half went to Ludwig and included the cities of Balingen, Calw, Herrenberg, Münsingen, Tuttlingen and Tübingen. This division was rescinded by the Treaty of Münsingen on 14 December 1482 and reinstated by the Treaty of Esslingen in 1492.

Mechthild of the Palatinate (1418–1482) was a princess and major patroness of the literary arts in the 15th century.
The House of Urach is a morganatic cadet branch of the formerly royal House of Württemberg. Although the Württemberg dynasty was one of many reigning over small realms in Germany into the 20th century, and despite the fact that marital mésalliances in these dynasties usually disinherited the descendants thereof, the Dukes of Urach unusually managed to elicit consideration for candidacy for the thrones of several European states, viz. the Kingdom of Württemberg, the abortive Kingdom of Lithuania, the Principality of Monaco and even the Principality of Albania. Although none of these prospects came to fruition, they reflected monarchical attempts to accommodate the rapid shifts in national allegiance, regime and international alliances that intensified throughout the 19th century, leading up to and following Europe's Great War of 1914–1918.
Elisabeth of Württemberg was a German noblewoman.
Barbara Gonzaga, nicknamed Barbarina, was an Italian noblewoman member of the House of Gonzaga and by marriage Countess consort (1474–1495) and first Duchess consort of Württemberg (1495–1496).
