The House of Vethringen-Rechts, sometimes referred to as the House of Nachfolge, is the house originated in 1623 after the conclusion of the Vethringen Succession War and the marriage of Wilhelm I, Duke of Lesser Vethringen to Claudia von Jostin-Saalten. Wilhelm I, claimed by the Nachfolgists to be the legitimate Archduke of Vethringen, was the bastard son of Hans-Wilhelm II, the previous archduke, though Wilhelm claimed to have been legitimised by him prior to his death. As such, the succession was brought into question, and by the close of the Succession War, the Legitimists held onto the Archducal title, and Wilhelm was reduced to a Duke. By his marriage to Claudia von Jostin-Saalten, Wilhelm aimed to cement his childrens' legitimacy by joining his house to a well-known and reasonably respected dynasty. Wilhelm called his new house the House of Vethringen-Rechts, adopting as his motto a Nachfolgist motto from the war - "es ist nur richtig" - it is only right, referring to his aspirations of reclaiming the Archducal title from the House of Ausburg-Vethringen.
