County of Manderscheid-Schleiden-Kerpen

 

This page covers the lineage-based country of Manderscheid-Schleiden-Kerpen. Its core territory consisted of the geographic county of the same name, but it formed a personal unions with another countries and acquired administrative rights to territory under the sovereignty of yet other countries. No places have been assigned to this country, so I give it no simplified name. Instead, I append “Kerpen” to the simplified names of countries with which it was in personal union and “Schleiden-Kerpen” to the simplified names of the core country and of quasi-countries over which it had administrative rights.

 

Anything involving territory outside of Manderscheidian Germany is rendered in gray. Events and countries outside the temporal scope of the database are rendered in italics.
