Louis Otto, Prince of Salm
Louis Otto, Prince of Salm[1] (24 October 1674 – 23 November 1738) was the Count of Salm-Salm from 1710, the only son of the Imperial chamberlain (Reichskämmerer) Charles Theodore, Prince of Salm (1645–1710) and Countess Palatine Luise Maria of Simmern (1647-1679).[2][3]
Louis (Ludwig) Otto married Princess Albertine Johannette of Nassau-Hadamar (5 July 1679 – 11 June 1716) on 20 July 1700. She was a great-granddaughter of John VI, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, brother of William the Silent.[4] The couple had three children:
- Dorothea Franziska Agnes (21 January 1702 – 25 January 1751); married Nicholas Leopold, Count of Salm-Hoogstraten,[5] who became the Prince of Salm-Salm,[6] and has many descendants from his 18 children, including Princess Rosemary of Salm-Salm and Princess Isabella de Croÿ.
- Elisabeth Alexandrine Felicite Charlotte Gotfriede (21 July 1704 – 27 December 1739); married Claude Lamoral, 6th Prince de Ligne and had issue.
- Christine Anna Luise Oswaldine (29 April 1707 – 19 August 1775); married Joseph, Hereditary Prince of Hesse-Rotenburg; their eldest daughter Viktoria married Charles, Duc de Rohan-Rohan, the last male of the Soubise cadet branch of the French princely House of Rohan.
Ludwig Otto died in Anholt Castle in 1738.[1] His death ended his branch (the altfürstliche line) of the House of Salm, since Ludwig Otto had no son as heir.
