1475 - 1516 John V Grandson of Engelbert I.
1515 Hendrik / Henry III marries Claudia of Chalon & Orange, and gains the
title Prince of Orange. The Counts of Nassau are henceforth also Princes of
Orange, a possession in the Netherlands, but they hold no power there until
1555.

Nassau-Dillenberg becomes Nassau-Breda.
1516 - 1538 Henry III Son of John V.
1538 - 1544 René of Chalon Son. Prince of Orange (1540).

1544 Nassau-Breda reverts to Nassau-Dillenberg.
1544 - 1555 William I the Rich Nephew. Made Stadhoulder of Holland in 1555
by HRE.
1555 Title Count of Nassau-Dillenberg becomes subsidiary to that of Prince
of Orange as William the Silent becomes Stadhoulder in Holland. The title
becomes Nassau-Orange.

Does this mesh with the information of others?
