Loon

The County of Loon was an imperial fief centered on Loon and later Kuringen. In 1337 Theodoric of Heinsberg ruled it alongside Heinsberg and Chiny as a vassal of the Prince-Bishop of Liège.

Liège occupied Loon in 1362 and annexed it in 1366. The county remained one of the bishopric's three quarters until French troops dissolved the bishopric in 1795; its lands passed to the new Dutch province of Limburg in 1815.
