Family

Louis Otto married Princess Albertine Johannette of Nassau-Hadamar on 20 July 1700. She was a great-granddaughter of John VI, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, brother of William the Silent. The couple had three children:
After the death of his aunt Anne Henriette of Bavaria, Princesse of Arches, he was opposed by his brother-in law, the Duke of Ursel. Eventually the duke obtained the rights to the principality, and his descendants still hold the title "Prince d'Arches et de Charleville".
Ludwig Otto died in Anholt Castle in 1738. His death ended his branch of the House of Salm, since Ludwig Otto had no son as heir.
