History[]
Zuid-Polsbroek, or Polsbroek, was an allodium[1] and a free or high heerlijkheid,[2] a type of local jurisdiction with many rights. Since 1155 the lords of Polsbroek are able to speak the high (blood court) [3] middle and low justice over their territory. Zuid-Polsbroek was a half-independent (semi-sovereign) entity of the provinces Holland or Utrecht, like the larger to the east. During the late middle ages it became unsure if Zuid-Polsbroek originally belonged to the States of Holland or to the province (unie) of Utrecht.[1] Polsbroek paid their duties to the States of Holland.[4] When the French introduced the municipal system in the Netherlands in 1807, the rights of the heerlijkheid were largely abolished, although the heerlijkheid itself existed until the early 20th century.
The fief of (Zuid-)Polsbroek was first ruled by the since the late 10th century.[1] In later years Polsbroek was ruled by the lords of Woerden van Vliet (until 1423),[5] (1423-1481/82),[1] Lords of Bergen from the House of (1481/82 until 1566),[6][7] the House of Ligne (from 1566 to 1568) and their following House of Arenberg-Ligne (from 1568 to 1610).[2] Since 1610 the heerlijkheid was a possession of the regentenfamily De Graeff[8] from Amsterdam. When the French introduced the municipal system in the Netherlands in 1795, the rights of the heerlijkheid were largely abolished, although the heerlijkheid itself existed until the early 20th century.
