Lordship of Vorst-Lombeck-Gudenau
This page covers the lineage-based country of Vorst-Lombeck-Gudenau. It had no core territory, but formed personal unions with small lordships and acquired administrative rights to territory under the sovereignty of other countries. No places have been assigned to this country, so I give it no simplified name. Instead, I append the third component of its name to the countries with which it was in personal union.
