Northern Jutland (Danish: Nørrejylland) is the name for the region north of the Kongeå in Jutland. The region south of the Kongeå is called Southern Jutland (Sønderjylland). Both territories have had own ting assemblies in the Middle Ages (in Viborg and Urnehoved).
Today Northern Jutland consists of the Region Nordjylland, the Region Midtjylland and the northern parts of the Region of Southern Denmark.
Famous quotes containing the word northern:
“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
