 Note: In 1648, sovereignty of the United
                Netherlands was recognized, and to 1795 the United
                Netherlands were a confederation of sovereign provinces
                (by official order of precedence: Gelderland, Holland,
                Zeeland, Utrecht, Friesland, Overijssel, Stad en Lande
                [Groningen]), plus the protected province of Drenthe not
                represented in federal institutions. The provincial
                authority was exercised by the provincial assemblies
                (Estates, usually mistranslated as States) with elected
                (from 1747 hereditary) Stadholders as chief executives.
                Second only to the Stadholders were the chief officers
                of the provincial Estates, such as Pensionaries in
                Holland and Zeeland. Provincial sovereignty was not
                formally abolished until the first constitution of the
                Batavian Republic of 1798.

                          Treaty of Utrecht,
                the Holy Roman Emperor proclaims Friesland a
 condominium of Holland
                and Utrecht.

                              This
                year a count of Holland is acclaimed for the last time
                as Lord
 of Friesland by the Frisians. Although both
                Holland and Utrecht
 continue their attempts to obtain the
                submission of the region,
 Friesland is generally considered free from
                this year. The three
 subdivisions (Oostergo, Westergo and
                Zevenwouden) were now ruled
 by local chiefs according the own Frisian
                laws (the this was the
 so-called Friese Vrijheid
                or Frisian Freedom).

 lands under his direct overlordship.
 30 Apr 1498      
                         To protect themselves
                against a band of foreign invaders, the
 Frisians recognize the Saxon Duke as Lord
                of Friesland,
 ending Frisian Freedom under direct
                authority of the Emperor.

 rights

                Burgundy Charles II.

  ¹Despite the fact that the
                style of Commissaris van de Koning/Koningin
                (Commissioners of the King/Queen) was formally also
                introduced in Limburg in 1850, the ancient style of
                Governor continued - and still continues to be very
                commonly used, even in official documents, partly as a consequence of the special position of
                Limburg in 1839-1867 and partly also as a Limburgian
                particularism.

              MaastrichtNote: Until the
                  French conquest the territory of the town was divided
                  into four different administrations, acting
                  independently of each other: (A) the Dutch fortress;
                  (B) the City of Maastricht; (C) the Chapter of the
                  Church of Sint Servaas; (D) the Chapter of the Church
                  of Onze Lieve Vrouw: Church founded c.1000 (which was
                  a dependency of the Prince-Bishop of Liège) -
                  Territory: in the city - the Church, the surrounding
                  streets and buildings. Outside the city - the village
                  of Bemelen, Not part of the condominium; (E) The
                  Lordship of Sint Pieter, the village - later (small)
                  town - of Sint Pieter was a possession of the
                  Prince-Bishops of Liège. In 1515/17 part of its
                  territory was annexed to the city of Maastricht. But
                  both parts of it (inside and outside the city walls)
                  remained a separate polity until the French conquest,
                  not part of the condominium; (F) and the Lordship and
                  Court of Vroenhof (the villages of Wilre, Heukelom en
                  Montenaken) given by the emperor to the Dukes of
                  Brabant as a separate dependency in 1204. As the
                  territory of the city of Maastricht expanded part of
                  Vroenhof was included within its city walls between
                  1300-1350, like Sint Pieter it remained a separate
                  polity until the French conquest, the part within the
                  city walls however was under the supervision of the
                  Brabant-Liège condominium. D to F had negligible
                  territory and a full list of these rulers is currently
                  unavailable.    1174 -

              (C) Chapter of the Church of
              Sint-Servaas
                
 Note: The pieces of land ownership of the
                Chapter of Sint-Servaas stretched from present-day North
                Brabant and the area around Leuven to the Rhine, the
                Moselle and the Ahr. The core area was in the current
                Belgian province of Limburg, west of Maastricht. The
                most important part of this core area was the so-called
                Eleven banks of Saint Servatius, where the Chapter held
                not only the land and the rights attached to it, but
                also the judiciary over the inhabitants.

                966                 
                Bestowed to Bishop of Trier by the Holy Roman Emperor.
 1087                      
                Direct dependence on the German Emperor confirmed;
                comprised two
 kinds of territories with total area of around 10 sq km
                (as of
 1795):
                the territories belonging to the Provosts (two bancs)
                =
 Tweebergen (situated in the city) with the Church, part
                of the
 roads
                and the Convent of "de Beyard", and Mechelen-aan-de-Maas
 (now in
                Belgium). And territories belonging directly to the
 Chapter
                = Nine bancs (consisting of one or more villages
                outside
 the city
                walls): Vleitingen (2.3 sq km) with Lafeld en Ellicht,
 Heer
                (1.4 sq km), Sleus, Koningsheim (1.4 sq km), Groot-Loon,
 Zepperen, Hees en Keer, Berg (2 sq km) with Geulle en
                Vilt, Bernau
 (with
                the exception of Heer and Berg all in Belgium now). Not
                part
 of the
                above (B) condominium.
 1204              
                        The right of appointment of
                the Provosts passed to the Duke of
 Brabant.
 1648/1661                 
                Possessions of the Chapter omitted from transfers to the
                United
 Netherlands under the Peace of Münster of 1648 and the
                Partition
 Treaty of 1661.
 1659              
                        The right to appoint the
                Provosts passed from the Duke of Brabant
 to the Staten-Generaal of the United
                Netherlands. Nevertheless,
 the
                Chapter maintained the immediacy of the Empire,
                especially
 for the Baronies of Heer and Berg (two enclaves just
                east of
 Maastricht), directly dependent on the Pope and the
                Emperor and
 independent of the Prince-bishop of Liège and the
                  Staten-Generaal.
 1753           
                           Possessions
                declared as having already been part of the Generality
 Lands by
                the Staten-Generaal by their succession to the
                Dukes of
 Brabant
                (that position was accepted by the Imperial Chamber
                Court
 [Reichskammergericht]). The canons of the
                Sint-Servaas chapter
 leave
                communal life and began living independently.
