Nassau-Hadamar is the name of two side lines of the Ottonian main line of the House of Nassau. The older line of the counts of Nassau-Hadamar existed from 1303 to 1394; the younger line existed from 1607 to 1711 and received the hereditary title of prince in 1652.
The coat of arms of Nassau is unchanged from the older line
After the death of Henry II the Rich of Nassau his sons, Walram II and Otto I shared the inheritance in 1255. The boundary between the two territories was formed approximately by the River Lahn. Walram took over the southern part of the realm (Walramic main line) and Otto, the northern part (Ottonian main line). The marriage between Otto and Agnes of Leiningen gave the Ottonian main line suzerainty over the March of Hadamar.
