History

[edit]

Purmerend and Purmerland

[edit]

As a free or high Lordship Purmerend - Purmerland - Ilpendam itself was an Allod in the province Holland. In 1410 the Lordship "Purmerend and Purmerland" was founded for Willem Eggert, the advisor of William II, Duke of Bavaria, count of Holland. In 1572 the Lordship was taken by the States of Holland.

Purmerland and Ilpendam

[edit]

In 1618 the new Lordship was re-established under the name "Purmerland and Ilpendam". 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.
