Career
The County of Schönborn-Wiesentheid was in Lower Franconia, the northwestern Region of modern Bavaria, and comprised various isolated districts spanning from the Regnitz River to the Main River east of Würzburg. Schönborn-Wiesentheid, a partition of Schönborn, inherited the other line of Schönborn-Heusenstamm in 1801 before it was mediatised to Bavaria in 1806.
