Salm-Reifferscheid-Dyck was a partition of Salm-Reifferscheid, divided between two grandsons of the ruling family in 1649.[1] It was annexed in 1811 by the First French Empire in the French Revolutionary Wars. The county was mediatised to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1813. Three years later, in 1816, the Head of the family[citation needed] was raised to the title of Fürst in Prussia.[2] When this branch of the Salm family died out in 1888,[2] the style was assumed by their closest agnatic cousins, Princes of Salm-Reifferscheid-Krautheim.[citation needed]
The full princely style was Imperial Prince of Salm, Duke of Hoogstraten, Forest Count of Dhaun and Kyrburg, Rhine Count of Stein, Lord of Diemeringen and Anholt.[citation needed]
