Liege

The Prince-Bishopric of Liège was a state of the Holy Roman Empire that existed from the 9th century to the 18th century. The territory of the Prince-Bishopric included the city of Liège and the surrounding areas in present-day Belgium. It was originally established as a bishopric, with the bishop of Liège holding both spiritual and temporal power.

Over time, the bishops of Liège became more powerful and independent, eventually becoming prince-bishops. The Prince-Bishopric of Liège was a major player in European politics in the Middle Ages and also played a significant role in the religious and cultural life of Europe.

In the 18th century, the Prince-Bishopric came under the control of the Austrian Habsburgs and was eventually absorbed into the Austrian Netherlands. The last Prince-Bishop of Liège was forced to abdicate in 1795, ending the Prince-Bishopric of Liège as an independent state.
