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:
“For generations, a wide range of shooting in Northern Ireland has provided all sections of the population with a pastime which ... has occupied a great deal of leisure time. Unlike many other countries, the outstanding characteristic of the sport has been that it was not confined to any one class.”
—Northern Irish Tourist Board. quoted in New Statesman (London, Aug. 29, 1969)
