sentences:  This structure was supposedly preserved well beyond feudal times, characterizing the village in increasing measure until in the course of administrative restructuring in Rhineland-Palatinate in 1969-1972 it abruptly met its end.The lordship’s presence over the village likewise abruptly met its end when French troops came marching in during the upheavals brought about by the French Revolutionary Wars in the 1790s, whereafter Grumbach was "de facto" a part of France, but this became "de jure" under international law by the terms of the 1801 Treaty of Lunéville.The Rhinegraves of Grumbach, meanwhile, who had been forced into flight before the Revolutionary tide early in 1793, were richly compensated by the Extraordinary Imperial Deputation at Regensburg in 1802-1803 for the lands on the Rhine’s left bank that they had lost to the French, by being granted, through their delegates’ skilful negotiation, lands in the now secularized Prince-Bishopric of Münster in Westphalia, where their line, as Princes at Salm-Horstmar, Waldgraves and Rhinegraves, still thrives today, if not as rulers.
