Strasbourgum

Strasbourgum was the prince-bishopric of Strasbourg, the bishop’s secular lands in Alsace. In 1337 Berthold of Buchegg held the see, while the city had already broken episcopal control.

Strasbourg became fully imperial in 1352. The Reformation made the city Protestant and led to a chapter dispute that lasted until 1604. Louis XIV forced recognition of French sovereignty over the left-bank lands in 1680, confirmed at Ryswick in 1697. French troops occupied the remainder in 1789; the right-bank lands were secularised to Baden in 1803.
