In that year, Stefan decided how his territories would be divided upon his death, allocating Simmern to his elder son, Frederick and Zweibrucken to his younger son Louis, combining with it Veldenz and most of the County of Sponheim.
Sel aastal otsustas Stefan, kuidas tuleb tema territooriume pärast tema surma jaotada, andes Simmerni oma vanemale pojale Friedrichile ja Zweibrückeni oma nooremale pojale Ludwigile, kombineerides selle Veldenzi ja enamuse Sponheimi krahvkonnaga.
