Cuijk

The Land of Cuijk was a lordship between the Maas and the Peel marshes, with its seat at Grave and its court at Cuijk. In 1337 Otto of Cuijk held it under Brabant, having succeeded his uncle in 1319.

The lordship later changed hands between Guelders and Brabant and was pledged to William of Orange in 1559. After Grave fell in 1602, the 1648 Peace of Münster assigned the land to the Dutch Republic. The Batavian Revolution abolished the lordship in 1795.
