<!-- The line starts with Stefan (see main page of Sponheim) and continues until Gottfried III who married Adelheid, sister and heiress of Heinrich III, Count of Sayn. After Gottfried III's death in 1223 his sons divided their posessions. Eldest son Gottfied became a priest and later Abbot of Sponheim. His 2nd son Johann inherited Sayn, Hachenburg and Starkenburg, thus his line continuing as main line of Counts of Sayn and a junior line of the Counts of Sponheim-Starkenburg.

Third son Simon inherited Kreuznach and Neef and started the line known as Sponheim-Kreuznach -->
