Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht (Oversticht)

The Sticht: the temporal lands of the bishops of Utrecht, in two parts, the Nedersticht (the modern province of Utrecht) and the Oversticht (Overijssel and Drenthe). Emperor Henry II and Conrad II granted the counties from 1024; Bishop Henry of the Palatinate sold the temporal power to Charles V in 1528.

The city of Groningen and its Ommelanden were often contested.
