Brabant, Duchy of
The Duchy of Brabant is a State of the Holy Roman Empire established in 1183.
It develops from the Landgraviate of Brabant and forms the heart of the historic Low Countries, part of the Burgundian Netherlands from 1430 and of the Habsburg Netherlands from 1482, until it is dismembered after the Dutch revolt.
Present-day North Brabant (Staats-Brabant) is adjudicated to the Generality Lands of the Dutch Republic according to the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, while the reduced duchy remains in existence with the Southern Netherlands until it is conquered by French Revolutionary forces in 1794.
Today all the duchy's former territories, apart from exclaves, are in Belgium except for the Dutch province of North Brabant.
