History
The current province of Gelderland covers about the area of three of the quarters of the duchy

duchy in the
Holy Roman Empire, including also parts of the province of
Limburg (Netherlands) Limburg and of the German District of
Cleves (district) Cleves with the city of
Geldern, the city that was the original seat of the dukes. It became part of the Habsburg Netherlands in 1543, one of the
Seventeen Provinces, though not one of the richer or more densely-populated.
