Counts of Friesland

Counts of Friesland are historical noble titles associated with the region of Friesland, in what is now the Netherlands. These counts were rulers or governors who held authority over Friesland's territories, managing governance, justice, and defense. Their role was similar to that of regional leaders, maintaining order and representing the interests of the broader Dutch territories during medieval times. Today, the title is largely symbolic, reflecting Friesland’s historical significance and the region’s rich noble heritage.
