In a compromise between the two princely houses competing to inherit the locality, it was agreed that, from 1733, Jettenbach would be ceded permanently to the Electorate of the Palatinate. This arrangement, however, did not long endure. From the turn of the nineteenth century, French Revolutionary intervention swept away the arrangements of historical ruling class and with it their traditional lordship over Jettenbach. This period, and the Napoleonic era which followed it saw the region under French rule for a further period.
