Comments: Holland is a county in northwestern Germany, between the Zuider Zee and the North Sea. Originally the home of the Batavii, it was never a part of the Roman Empire. Overrun during the Barbarian invasions by the Frisii, who set up their own kingdom, in the 8th century it became part of Charlemagne's Empire. After that broke up, it was included in Lothringia for a time before passing permanently to the Eastern Frankish Kingdom, Germany, as a county. Holland is part of the Archiepiscopal province of Cologne. The land is fertile, and there is some commerce and manufacturing in the larger towns.
