It is evident from the earliest seal testimonials going back as far as Otto I using an eagle on his seal of 1170 and then on seals of his grandsons Johann I and Otto III, etc. --> | |||

This branch was the Askanier branch of Weimar and Orlamunde, however later the counties were split and only the third branch can be legitimately referred to as "Weimar-Orlamunde" as that is the branch which ruled Weimar and also came from the 2nd Ascanian branch of Orlamunde. Perhaps I am wrong but it makes more sense to do it like this than to follow retarded German Wikipedia naming policies --> | |||
