The glory of Villé (German: Weiler) was a glory in Alsace, around the town of Villé or Weiler.
Originally, the name was Ortenberg's glory, later Albertsdal and eventually Weiler. The glory was in possession of the graves of Hohenberg. As a result of the marriage of Gertrude van Hohenberg with Rudolf of Habsburg, the glory of Albrecht I was part of Austria. The Duke Frederik IV and Leopold of Austria sold half of the glory to Hendrik van Mullenheim. A grandson of Rudolf I, Duke Rudolf IV named himself Sir Ortenberg.
Later, the glory came as a property or loan from Austria to Nicolas Bollwiller, who was inherited in 1628 by the house Fugger. During the Thirty Years the Alsace was occupied by France. King Louis XIV gave the glory to Mr. Zurlauben. By the peace of Münster of 1648, glory ceased to be part of the Holy Roman Empire and Austria, but became part of France. There were long processes with the house Fugger and only in 1720 the rights of Fugger were bought. The glory was raised in 1687 to baronie and in 1692 to county. Zurlauben was later conceived by the duke of Choiseul. Literature
