After the Battle of White Mountain in November 8, 1620 many of the members were expelled together with Fridrich Falcký and domanials were confiscated. One of the line, loyal to the emperor Ferdinand II, was promoted to the emperor earls in 1637. Line died off in the 18th century, some descendants of expellies after the Battle of White Mountain remained in Sweden and in Saxony during 18th and 19th centuries.
