*When [[West Friesland (region)|West Friesland]] was conquered by the [[County of Holland]] in 1289, this was the end of a series of [[Friso-Hollandic Wars|wars between the county of Holland and Friesland]] that started at the end of the 11th century. The Dutch conquest occurred immediately after the disastrous [[St. Lucia's flood]] in which many Frisians in the area were killed. After the conquest the district of West Friesland, which also comprised the islands of [[Wieringen]], [[Texel]], and [[Vlieland]], had its own seats in the [[States of Holland and West Friesland|Estates of Holland and West Friesland]]. When the province of Holland was split up in the [[Constitution of the Netherlands|constitutional reform]] of 1840, West-Friesland became a part of [[North Holland]]. The name of West Friesland has also been used by an intercommunal administrative board (''samenwerkingsregio'') and a [[Water board (Netherlands)|water board]].
*[[Friesland]] became an independent member of the Dutch Republic in 1581. It is now a Dutch province, in 1996 renamed as ''Fryslân''.
*The islands of [[Terschelling]], [[Ameland]], and [[Schiermonnikoog]] were independent seignories, which were integrated into the province of Friesland during the 19th and 20th centuries.
*[[Groningen (province)|Groningen]], formerly ''Stad en Lande'' (the city of Groningen and its surroundings), became an independent member of the Dutch Republic in 1594. Now it is a Dutch province. As a rule, its inhabitants do not consider their province as a part of Frisia, though the area has many cultural ties with neighbouring East Frisia.
*[[East Frisia]] was an independent county since 1464, later a principality within the [[Holy Roman Empire]] until 1744. By then, it was annexed by the [[Kingdom of Prussia]]. After a period of Dutch and French rule, it became part of the [[Kingdom of Hanover]] in 1814, which was annexed by Prussia in 1866. Now it consists of several districts within the federal state of [[Lower Saxony]] in the [[Federal Republic of Germany]].
*[[Harlingerland]] was a seignory, inherited by the count of [[East Frisia]] in 1600.
*[[Jever]] was a seignory, annexed by the [[County of Oldenburg]] in 1573 and, after a prolonged period of Saxony-Anhalt, Russian, Dutch and French rule, reunited with Oldenburg in 1814. It is now part of the district of Friesland within the federal state of [[Lower Saxony]].
*[[Kniphausen]] was a seignory, split off from the County of Oldenburg in 1667 and reunited with its surroundings in 1854 (effectively in 1813).
*[[Saterland]] was a tiny Frisian district under the Prince-bishop of [[Münster]], in 1814 assigned to the [[Kingdom of Hannover]].
*[[Butjadingen]] was a coastal republic, a remnant of the largely submerged district of [[Rüstringen]]. It was conquered by the [[Duchy of Oldenburg|Count of Oldenburg]] in 1514. After a period of Danish rule, it became part of the [[Duchy of Oldenburg]] in 1774, which remained a more or less independent state within the German Empire until 1918. Butjadingen is now part of the district of Wesermarsch within the federal state of [[Lower Saxony]].
*[[Land Wursten]] was a coastal republic, conquered by the Prince-bishop of Bremen in 1525. It became part of the Duchy of Bremen-Verden. The latter was, after a period of [[Sweden|Swedish]] rule, integrated into the [[Kingdom of Hanover]] in 1715. It is now part of the district of [[Cuxhaven]] within the federal state of [[Lower Saxony]].
*[[North Frisia]] originally corresponded to the [[Uthlande]] in the [[Kingdom of Denmark]]. Later, North Frisia became a part of the Danish [[Duchy of Schleswig]] (or [[Southern Jutland]], ''Sønderjylland'') and of the royal enclaves (''Kongerigske enklaver'') of the [[Kingdom of Denmark]]. The duchy was conquered by [[Prussia]] in 1864. Now it forms a district within the federal state of [[Schleswig-Holstein]]. [[Helgoland]] is part of the district of Pinneberg. North Frisia was never a part of the [[Holy Roman Empire]].
