	Count of Flanders@Everything2.com
		Flanders (Vlaanderen in Flemish, Flandre in French), originally the name of the district around Bruges, became the name applied to the territory between the rivers Scheldt and Somme, ruled by its own series of counts, nominally subservient to their masters in Paris but often the rulers of a de facto independent state.
		Flanders therefore came under the control of Burgundy, with the title of count being assumed by both Philip the Good and his son Charles the Bold, and on Charles's death in 1477 passing to his daughter Mary of Burgundy.
		Flanders was subject to Austria until 1556 when it passed to Philip II of Spain as part of the Spanish Netherlands, where it remained until 1714 when under the Peace of Utrecht was returned to Austria.
