Landgrave of Wedellsborg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wedellsborg, near Tranderup Parish used to be known as Husbygaard and is a very old lordship for Scandinavia. At first it was held as a manor but was later elevated into a county. For most of modern history it has been held by the Wedel family.[1]
