# William (d. 1612), succeeded his father in 1581 in Runkel and Dierdorf, the so-called "Upper County of Wied"; married Countess Johanna Sibylla of Hanau-Lichtenberg
In 1697, Kriechingen was inherited by the Principality of East Frisia, and later by the County of Wied-Runkel.
Dietkirchen is situated at the eastern end of this widening, with the valley becoming narrow again near Runkel.
He married in 1543 in Königstein to Catherine (26 March 1525 – 15 June 1581 in Runkel), the daughter of Philip II, Count of Hanau-Münzenberg (17 August 1501 – 28 March 1529) and Juliana of Stolberg-Wernigerode (15 February 1506 in Stolberg – 18 June 1580 in Dillenburg), who after Philip's death remarried to William the Rich.
William succeeded his father in 1581 as Count of Upper Wied (Runkel and Dierdorf) and in the rest of Wied in 1595.
Margaret Elisabeth of Leiningen-Westerburg (30 June 1604 in Schadeck, today part of Runkel – 13 August 1667 at Wiesenburg Castle), was a Countess of Leiningen and regent of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg.
His part of the county included Altwied Castle, the village of Isenburg, the parish of Maysheid and the Lordship of Meud (which had previously been part of Lower Wied).
In addition, the following mediatised areas were added under his sovereignty: the Herrlichkeit Westerburg, the Herrlichkeit Schadeck, and that part of the county Wied-Runkel that lay on the right bank of the river Lahn.
