County of Manderscheid-Keil

 

This page covers the lineage-based country of Manderscheid-Blankenkeil. It had no core territory, but it formed personal unions with other 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 “Keil” to the simplified names of geographic countries with which it was in personal union 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.
