History of the free and high fief
As a free and high Fief, itself was an independent fief (semisouverain Fief) of the province Holland. In 1410 the fief was founded for Willem Eggert, the advisor of William II, Duke of Bavaria, count of Holland. Since 1678 the heerlijkheid was a possession of the prominent family De Graeff from Amsterdam. When the French introduced the municipal system in the Netherlands, the rights of the heerlijkheid were largely abolished, although the heerlijkheid itself existed until the early 20th century.
