 The new county palatine bore the name Palatinate-Veldenz (residence town Lauterecken), and then later Palatinate-Veldenz-Lützelstein (residence town for a time Lützelstein, now in France and known as La Petite-Pierre).The populace suffered in both the Thirty Years' War and French King Louis XIV's wars of conquest.The County Palatine of Palatinate-Veldenz-Lützelstein was dissolved in 1694 upon Count Palatine Leopold Ludwig's death, and then a dispute arose over the succession between the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken and the Electorate of the Palatinate.
