Other countries under Cleves sovereignty

Most subdivisions of the Duchy of Cleves were administered either by appointees of the duke or by noble families subject to him. The following subdivisions, however, were administered by other countries:

 

• Herrlichkeit Wertherbruch
  • Culemborg (1521-1639)
  • Waldeck-Eisenberg (1639-1692)
  • Saxe-Hildburghausen (1692-1715)
• Herrlichkeit Moyland
  • Anholt (1521-1662)
• Herrlichkeiten Hönnepel and Niedermörmter
  • Anholt (1521-1666)

 

As the simplified country name for each, I use “Cleves” followed by last part of the administering entity’s name. Thus, in 1650, Herrlichkeit Wertherbruch was in Cleves-Eisenberg and Herrlichkeit Moyland was in Cleves-Anholt.
