- of Sint Pieter was a possession of the Prince-Bishops of Liège.
In 1515/17 part of its territory was annexed to the city of Maastricht.
But both parts of it (inside and outside the city walls) remained a separate
polity until the French conquest, not part of the condominium.; and the
Lordship and Court of Vroenhof: (the villages of Wilre, Heukelom en Montenaken)
given by the emperor to the Ducs of Brabant as a separate dependency in
1204. As the territory of the city of Maastricht expanded part of
Vroenhof was included within its city walls between 1300 and 1350. Like
Sint Pieter it remained however a separate polity until the French conquest,
the part within the city walls being however also under the supervision
of the Brabant-Liège condominium. Items (C) to (F) had negligible
