On 2 September 1526, Ulrich sold him the County of Montbéliard and associated Lordships, with an option to buy it back. After the defeat of the Schmalkaldic League in 1547, the Emperor intended to take the Country of Montbéliard. Ulrich died in 1550. After the Peace of Passau of 1552, Württemberg was allowed to keep Montbéliard.
