Northern Estonia denotes a region of Estonia including Harju County and Virumaa. The region was ruled by Denmark (q.v. Danish Estonia) in the 13th century until the St. George's Night Uprising.
Famous quotes containing the word northern:
“Sophocles long ago
Heard it on the Aegaean, and it brought
Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow
Of human misery; we
Find also in the sound a thought,
Hearing it by this distant northern sea.”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
