The Hague County


The Hague County was a county belonging to the Bavarian Kreits within the Holy Roman empire, with the center of The Hague in Oberbayern.

The Hague castle is listed for the first time in the tenth century. Burchtheren were the Gurrre of The Hague. After the extinction of the Gurre family in 1245 Siegfried from Fraunberg was confronted by Emperor Frederik II with The Hague. Only since 1434 The Hague is clearly demonstrable. In 1465 the Fraunbergers became sovereign. In 1469, however, they were forced to recognize the Bavarian sovereignty, which they could withdraw from in the next period. In 1509 the liberals were raised to excavation.

Ladislaus, the last count passed the reformation. After his death in 1566 the county fell to the Duchy of Bavaria, after which the recatholization took place. Bavaria was conquered by the empire in 1567 by the county. Although The Hague became a Bavarian country, the seat remained in the bank of the Wetterau's tombs of the Reichstag. The county was used as a monkey in the Bavarian duchy house.

After the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss, the county was mediated and came under direct control of Bavaria's keynotees.
